Wasps

[ezra]

I have a steel structure elevated blind. Is there anything I can spray on the outside steel that might keep wasps from building nests? Would permethrin work?

Permethrin would be what I would use. It works good on keeping mosquitoes away, not sure how it would work on wasp.

I don't worry about the outside I just buy those little cans of Wasp bomb spray and put them inside and close it back up. Problem gone.

Yep Nuc. built my house in 2005 and my contractor put me the Demon product. We had spiders and roaches around my buildings bad. Started using and no more problems. We spray twice a year in spring and fall and I dare a roach to come in my house. Never hardly seen any in 15 years. Quit paying exterminator bills years ago. Save you a bunch of money.

I've always heard these plastic, medicated ear tags that they have for cows works great IN box stands. You may could hang a few on the outside as well.
