Had a phone call last week to treat a wasps nest and remove in a loft of a bungalow a company had been to fit loft insulation and refused. when i got up there i can imagine the poor blokes face when he saw it checked it and it was a old one.

run , no need to run millet, just get your best (not) mate up there, holding a normal torch, whilst you use one with a red filter, spray and watch them go for him

Who told you that?! Ant powder and "wasp powder" (Ficam D to most pesties!) are basically the same thing, a bendiocarb based insecticidal dust. Sure, there are slight variations as to the type of insecticeds- I'm sure some pesters will use a permethrin based dust for wasps, just as I'm sure there are probably permethrin based ant powders commercially availiable.

 

Long and short of it- "ant powder" will kill a wasp nest, but if you want to go close enough to the nest to treat it with the duster pack, then basically, you're a fool!

 

Leave it to the pros!

Every situation is different but I favour Ficam D (powder) for the wasps and Ficam W (liquid) for the ants...so long as it works and I don't get called back!
