Well a blast to a nest will drop them off right now, straight dead, or weakly kicking but no fight. As far as the anti-aircraft style hit whilst they're flying, I don't have a definative answer, as it's so hard to hit them.
If you can talk to a propane delivery driver, ask them as the dome cover on a tank is a favorite place for wasps to build nests.
The Amazon link was just a quick reference as I get it from a local supplier.

the raid defender will drop them off the nest, kicking for several mins, but not out of the air
i have used 3/4 of a can shooting at one that kept coming back, finally hit him dead on but he didnt drop,
he didnt come back either, at least i think not

the old CRC would take them out of the air with a bare minimum hit

propane guys just open the LP nozzle on them
mean dogs too (at least some of the guys)
they dont need spray

i have an LP tank but i always fill it in the winter so he doesnt have to worry

We get the Spectracide Pro stuff.

will it kill/drop them from the air?
we tried spectracide something, not pro , it was worse than the raid

 

[mburtis]

You mean you guys don't just smash the nest with a chew can? That's pretty much the only way I ever seen dad kill a wasp.

Buddy bought an old house. I gave him a hand cleaning it out so he could start reno's. I found a half can of Raid from back in the day when the cans were orange and black. After side by side testing on wasps I can tell you they are not the same formula. The old stuff DOES literally knock them out of the air.

If you spray some starting fluid into the open KO then flip a breaker that's under load, I can pretty much guarantee there'l be nothing alive when the smoke clears........

Note......it'd be a good idea to flip said breaker with a long stick while standing well off to one side.........

Or like what I used to do as a kid. Sneak into the bathroom a take my mom's Beautiful-Hair-Breck hair spray...find that nest outside-light a candle -holding the spray can back about a foot from the flame and hit the spray button..(looked like a cutting torch before the oxy is adjusted)...'course I also sat on the side bed-wall of a pick-up going down the road too...

I prefer using an AR-15 on em. Works good on those pesky roosters in the early morning also.

With a 10 round mag of course.

I would say a Catholics. They'll keep away those WASP

That's very discriminatory. I think you need 3 month off to consider your bigotry

Kerosene or diesel fuel. Any good foam wasp spray. The foam prevents them from flying. Hopefully.

Lowes has this on sale around Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, we try to keep a couple of cases around the house,

Another vote for brake cleaner.
I've never tried electrical parts cleaner but that might work.
Starting fluid will make them take a nap then come back all angry and dizzy.

Windex kills them too. During some renos, I had quite a few coming in the kitchen. There was a spray bottle of windex so I sprayed it on one of them ... worked as fast as Raid, and I didn't have to worry about chemicals on the windows and counters.
Sorry, doesn't help the OP much.

One thing to keep in mind, even if you had something that killed them all instantly, it's the workers coming back all day that get pissed at you !

I think this one wins, it looks like an effective bug killer but it's labelled with high dielectric strength and non-corrosive, safe around high voltages and electrical equipment. And a good price too. 👍

As a side note.. I went to open an insulated box outside this morning, and some mice had a condo development well under way. Grabbed a can of brake kleen and a short piece of tubing and it was eviction day. I think I got 7 if 'em this morning with half a can.

mice, lizards, and snakes usually kill themselves in breaker panels
i have seen many skeletons of lizards in particular
but i wish they would stay out of the busbars and eat the wasps lol

will it kill/drop them from the air?
