Non-toxic so.ution
I know this is not the core of the thread (which is FUN ways to take out individual insects and get some wing-shooting practice at the same time), but the least poisonous way I have found to take out a nest of wasps is this:
I put on my field jacket and two pairs of jeans (one pair extra-large), gloves and a net beekeeper-style head covering, duct-taped the cuffs (for protection) T
Then I simply grabbed the entire wasp nest, pulled it down and dunked it into a bucket of soapy water. The soap lowers the surface tension of the water and enables the drowning of all kinds of insects which would normally survive a dousing.
I discovered this when I tried to drown a cockroach. It simply jumped up out of the water and ran away. When I threw it in soapy water....done.
