Tpetey Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So we're floating down the river Sunday morning, geez, seems to be a lot of wasps, whats up? Didn't think much of it until later in the afternoon, started wondering if there was a nest in the void of the floor of the boat? Sure as heck, got home, flooded the boat to fill the voids with water and pieces of a nest/nests and eggs started washing out. Rinsed the boat out again, filled it with water and left it over night, next morning I took it for a drive around the community to agitate it to try and break anything else loose. Another big bunch of nest and eggs came out. Anyone had this before? is there anything anyone has done to solve/prevent this?I'd like to think that drowning them out has solved my problem, but want to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleflyfisher Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 That sucks, can't help but I am heading out in next hour or so in full gear to battle a nest that is behind our siding. Spray foam wasp killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnChips Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've noticed an increased number of wasps these past couple of years in the Bow Valley. Was also out in South Kootenay Lake area two weeks ago - wasps everywhere, all the time! They alight on our sandwiches while we're holding them!
