NO Wasps Eliminator is a new formulation to replace NO Wasps Wasp Dust for control of wasps and wasp nests. It contains 2 active ingredients:
- Permethrin – 24g/kg this is a higher level than other wasp control products.
- Contact insecticide – long lasting
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE) – very low density (light), high surface area powder.
- DE is a contact physical action insecticide
- DE also acts as carrier for permethrin and has insecticidal properties
- DE is easily picked up on the feet and body of wasps. More insecticide is then carried into the nest giving better control
- DE adheres well to vertical surfaces such as walls below nest entrances in eaves.
- The new product is supplied in the same puffer pack as the NO Wasps Insecticidal Dust but it is 60 g rather than the 100 g of Insecticidal Dust. Because of the much lower density of the DE the 60 g fills the puffer pack to a higher level than the Insecticidal Dust did, giving the user more product.
Application
The rate of application of the new NO Wasps Eliminator is the approx. the same as was the case with NO Wasps Insecticidal Dust; 5-6 sharp puffs into nest entrance. Ensure powder is applied into nest or to where wasps land at the entrance.
Note: For nests in eaves it was sometimes difficult
to puff the NO Wasps Insecticidal Dust upwards and for the dust to adhere to
surfaces. The new NO Wasps Eliminator adheres better to surfaces. However,
although it puffs upwards better, it can still be difficult. A temporary ad hoc
solution for users is to use the dip tube from a trigger sprayer e.g. NO
Bugs Super 1L RTU or similar spray bottle commonly found under kitchen sinks. Clean and dry it, and it will fit neatly into the aperture
of the NO Wasps Eliminator puff bottle. Push the dip tube down to the level of
the powder. The puffer will now puff the powder upwards easily and the nozzle
can easily be inserted into the small holes and gaps that usually constitute
the entrance to the nest.
