Very helpful information! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Sincere regards!

thank you so much!!! my older son Rudy and I loved your video, we are trying these ideas today so we can finally have peaceful reading sessions in the backyard lol thumbs and you've got a new subscriber!😇

Definitely going to try this out. Love the homemade aspect of this too. I grow herbs, and peppermint just became more awesome.

You sir, are a gentlemen and a scholar. Instant subscription.

Thanks Bro'.... the peppermint oil worked... just sprayed the front of my house (it was covered with wasps!) 5 minutes ago and.... there's not a wasp in sight now!

I’ve done it and they didn’t mind and kept sitting on the grass and flying above it 😐

there is a big difference between oil and extract, the oil is pure peppermint and the extract is 90% alcohol and 10% oil and the alcohol evaporates very fast leaving a very diluted peppermint scent. Pure oil of peppermint costs about $9.00 for a half ounce bottle at the health food store.

Thank you. Good info to know

I used this years ago and it totally worked. There was a wasp nest between the bricks of the raised garden beds under a dead tree. I use your technique and they were gone within 48 hours. Thanks so much!

This worked like a charm. So awesome!

I love you & your show, brother. Unfortunately this did not work for me here in the north Dallas, Texas area (City of Plano). Thanks all the same for your time and efforts to help your fellow man.

Thanks so much for this great video! I just discovered a growing nest or two when opening the patio umbrella for the first time this year. I also love natural products over chemicals, so this will be my force of action. I have peppermint extract, will that work too? I hope so!

Thanks for teaching us did simple trick!

Love your kitchen.

This best video on this subject so far

Just tried this for a nest inside the outside electric plug cover. Worked perfectly! Thanks for this advice, I sprayed around all other openings of my house.

8 yr old video but this is a lifesaver for me here in 2021 as the wasps are by my garden entrance.

Thank you much. Will try this

Thanks in advance, will try this tomorrow and I have a good feeling it will work perfectly!

I was going to use peppermint schnapps but decided against it because of the high sugar content. I found my peppermint oil and the mixture of that plus some soap worked. They fell to the ground and I knocked down the nest. Thank you!😊

thanks so much, I will do that right now, wasps on my balcony flying around, I hate it! Let's spray! LOL Thanks for sharing.

Woke up with a wasp in my room this morning I’m gonna give this a try!

Hey P. Allen, great video. Eric at Okapilco.

thank you so much!!!!

For the wasp trap I would use something that won't attract bees-I live an area where there are bee-keepers; northern Idaho. A man on Utube used lunchmeat; he said the bees didn't like the odor, but you know wasps and meat! And it worked real well.

Used this on nests out on our front porch. Stopped them from flying and killed then quick. I then was able to knock the nests down. But I really recommend this and I now know what to do with nests. I used extract and added dish soap to stun them. It really worked though and I really recommend it.

Thanks for d vidio,can i use it in garden?

Muy bueno!!!

Thanks for the tip, can you spray this on plants? The wasps at my house are loving the sunflowers on our patio this year.

And just as an added benefit, peppermint essential oil will keep mice out, too.

I just watched another video where the guy put water, peppermint, AND DISH SOAP together and used that! Although, he didn't use as much peppermint. I think he had said about 20 drops into a spray bottle the size you were using.

Wasps love Big Red and Orange flavored soda waters, because of the very high sugar content, l think. I'm going to try that. Several years one friend left his can of Big Red open on picnic table for one minute and when he took a drink l saw him spit out the soda like crazy! A wasp was in the spit , thank God he wasn't stung inside his mouth.

A spray bottle as shown using a mixture of water, one cup of dishwasher soap, and peppermint oil you can control existing nests and discourage future colonies. Spray the nest a night or early morning.

Thank you sir! Your ideas I will try as I've had a problem with " mud daubers" clogging up my car cooling system! The technician advised red pepper, but I have peppermint oil & will use this instead. Will make traps as well! 🤷❤️🧓✝️

What would you recommend for wasp in my attic? I can't use attic fan in my house because they come in.

I'm not sure how I ended up watching these videos. I was looking for spider web cleaners. Anyway, I subscribed. Your very entertaining and great tips!

great presentation, thanks a lot

Nice

thank you... just made some. i love the bees too and don't use chemical pestisides on my yard or home but my neighbor has some that moved into a wall attached to her home. would this attract bees or repel? i would like to have her bees find another home without killing them and thought maybe spraying this on their nest would encourage them to move on?

can you make a video of that trap in action

Great experiment. I liked that you showed the results first and then did your comparative analysis. The only thing I would have wanted to have more specifics on were the proportion of sweet wine, sugar, and water. ( I have tried red wine but it did not work.). Also I did not hear you mention liquid detergent. So I'm curious what killed your wasps!

You can also make a planter out of the bottle too. Just make the bottom shorter and the inverted piece taller. Put the plant in the inverted piece. Fill the bottom up with water. Now the plant will automatically water itself for a few day.

We usually have mud daubers, and they've never given me a problem. But this year, the wasps have invaded en masse! Hope this helps!

Anything for carpenter bees what can I use on them and what can of trap?

We have several Mason bee houses and are starting to have problems with wasp wanting to get inside the house. Will the peppermint spray kill the mason bees if used around the house to keep the wasp away?

does the spray act quickly or do they start dozing off and then gone

Thank you Sir. #Subscribed

Put some white vinegar in a spray bottle. It really makes a job on their shell and smelling sense. Just be careful because they go crazy when they notice it.

Even easier and cheaper: 1. 1 Liter plastic container 2. At least 1 banana peel 3. Water 4. Dish soap First cut a hole near the top of bottle, insert banana peel, add water and dish soap. Hang bottle near a wasp nest for best results. Replenish mixture when water is full of dead wasps/insects. *Does NOT harm honeybees.

Previous wasp behavior (late summer late afternoon): fly into glass repeatedly, then crawl around the edges, or hang out at the eaves. New wasp behavior: unchanged, but scouts give up way faster, and the occasional contra bastard crawls up to the treated area (repellent seems effective at the do-I-land-or-not stage). Other insects and birds don't seem affected. Used boiled hot pepper combined with peppermint oil when cool -- house smells great. Still gonna try traps and decoy. And if the nest is on the house, there'll be blood, otherwise "live and let live" indeed.

Also do you add any dish soap in

Does peppermint oil work on yellow jackets?

Is there a way to make wasp repellent with fresh peppermint? I don't have the oil, but I have lots of fresh mint.

Love the "live and let live kind of guy." Going to use both ideas. Thank you!

i used mustard oil instead, and it work great

How about add dish soap with the peppermint oil and water. Would it work?

I just viewed another video & they state to put 1/4 teaspoon of dish detergent in the liquid, so that when the wasp lands on the liquid, it breaks the surface tension when they land, and they fall into the solution.

How often should I be saying the peppermint oil?

Does this apply to any species of wasp

is their a repellent for bed bugs

Does this repellent and trap work on trantchula wasp? They keep attacking me every time I go out side my husband kills them with a racket ball racket.

What mineral added in water.plz tell

How long does the spray last?

I'm curious as to if this pepermint water stuff will hurt humming irds or drive the Hummers away from the feeders if I use this stuff?

will this work for carpenter bee?

Will this work for a bee’s nest?

Will planting a bunch of peppermint also repell these guys away?

Will this work on all wasps. I raise butterflies and the wasps are wiping me out of caterpillars. Being that the wasps are eating caterpillars will they be attracted to the sugar syrup? I have many varieties in my yard and the larger wasps are my biggest threat.

How often?

Thanks I have some wasps hanging around my house

If you add some apple cider vinegar, it will attract yellow jackets and wasps but not honey bees. A few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid also, they will drown quickly once they hit the water. It breaks the surface tension.

Do I have to spray it directly onto the wasp, can I just spray it arround and they'd just stay away?

I hope this works. I have a yellow jacket in my room and its not leaving out of the window!

I followed the recipe to a t and the wasps are still coming back :( would there be a difference between peppermint oil and peppermint extract? I know it shows extract in the video but Allen says to use oil. Or are they the same? Help!

I’ve also heard around the internet that dish soap works great at killing wasps. Just one drop and they basically drown from the inside out. Morbid, yes, but efficient? Yes.

That tbs. of peppermint oil looked like more than a tbs. to me. But, that sounds like a plan for sure.

We got them in the roof and boy are they putting up a fight! I am certain that these are reincarnated Nazi Pilots back over the UK for a second go ! Lets have a go at this, chocs away chaps, Tally Ho! Bandits at ten O'clock & all that. Good video by the way . Regards Chris.

DO NOT USE SUGAR WATER! This will attract loads of honey bees which are useful, needed, and non aggressive. Instead, use rotten fruit, fruit juice, or even just soda such as coke. These will all attract the wasp without attracting and harming the honey bee.

I did this today. I have a Queen wasps trying to take over my car! Glad I got another vehicle. I'm terrified of them! Literally poo my pants and maybe have a heart attack kinda fear. 😅

Yep and any honey bee in the area will also go in the trap for the 1:1 sugar water.
