“What’s the best way to get them out without having them fly into the house? I tried some hotshot spray which didn’t seem to do much.”source ↗

“I also sealed the hole with some steel wool but that was definitely not the right move since a few wasps then somehow found their way into the house”source ↗

“I started seeing yellowjackets inside my finished basement. Just one or two a day, but I’m certain temperatures we’d be getting 5+.”source ↗

“Yesterday I found the issue- they are coming and going all day long out of the penetration where my air conditioner gets its electricity.”source ↗

“I emptied a can of Raid Yellowjacket/wasp spray into the penetration yesterday and today found a good 20 or so of them dead, but still a ton coming and going. What do y’all like to use?”source ↗

“So like the raid spray? I tried that already but didn’t seem to do much”source ↗

“I really don’t want to replace the baseboards if I don’t have to, but I want to fix these gaps to eliminate my bug problem. I know now that caulking isn’t ideal.”source ↗

“I rent and we get rats coming inside the walls in the cold weather, and it's that time of year again.”source ↗

“In past had exterminator leave bait for them that he said would kill them and then the corpse would dehydrate and wouldn't smell in the walls.”source ↗

“I tried looking online and found some corn cellulose baits like Wilson and Ratrid (in Canada) that are supposed to do that, but there's no poison, just corn fibre. I can't tell how well it works because the reviews are all over the place.”source ↗

“Carpenter Bees have found this to be a nice spot to drill the sh*t out of my house.”source ↗

“This is a pain in the ass application situation because of the narrow gap of the overhang and the fact that I can't clearly see all the holes”source ↗

“recently i started noticing thooosee aagain coming out of this particular slit, i poured the vodka and they all came out along with maggots, but i cant figure what the hell are these and what to do in order to get rid of them from that slit!!!”source ↗

“Earlier today, I saw a cockroach or some kind of descendent of one. It was a very slim creature that crawled on the wall, so I’m not sure what it is, but it slipped into this crack in the wall right here. I’m wondering if there are more and if they are, how do I get rid of them?”source ↗

“Guys I need the most lethal, potent poison to get rid of them!!! I need tips before I call pest control. I don’t want the natural stuff either! I want the real deal killer! I want them gone!!!”source ↗

“I was mostly wondering what I should do?”source ↗

“I bought copper mesh to fill the gaps eventually but I wasn’t sure what to do before that.”source ↗

“Seeking advice on how to combat Yellowjacket infestation. I learned late not to seal opening. The entry point, from what I can tell, is sealed with spray foam insulation. That has resulted in a ton of bees coming out on the inside (I’ve identified one spot where they seem to be coming out from).”source ↗

“I sprayed Alpine Wsg by spot treating as close as possible as I could to their entryways points, but some of the exact ones are hard to find. They’ll leave for a day then pop up in full force at other places I haven’t sprayed.”source ↗

“I caulked around the area to seal it off, but they've since chewed/pushed their way back through the caulk and are still getting in.”source ↗

“My wife is convinced this will help keep ants out of the house. Easy enough to do but I want to make sure this doesn’t need to be left open.”source ↗

“Recently I discovered wasps were entering my kitchen from behind an electrical outlet.”source ↗

“They're going in about ten feet off the ground, so it's not somewhere I can get to easily — especially in a way where I can retreat quickly if needed.”source ↗

“I've sprayed with Raid wasp spray, but I don't think it's getting *in there* enough to really kill them off.”source ↗

“I can't get up to the crack(s) without climbing a ladder, and I don't really want to try that in the middle of a swarm of wasps.”source ↗

“These are termites but they came out of a concrete wall. There isn’t anything wooden nearby. How is this possible?”source ↗

“Do we need to apply plaster and repaint the entire ceiling after treating for termite infestation?”source ↗

“In my limited experience, the sticky traps and snap were not super effective.”source ↗

“I've caught four already but I've gone two nights without catching any.”source ↗

“these little suckers are all around my room coming in through my window ac unit, any advice on how to get rid of them without having to spend so much money on and exterminator?”source ↗
