    I’ve heard rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle works great for killing most bugs, but I’ve never tried it on a hive so they might get big mad before they’re immobilized/die

    Adding one or two drops of dish soap to a large spray bottle of rubbing alcohol can make it stick to bugs better, making it more effective. Far safer than poison based pest control too!

      We had ants once, and alcohol was just about the only good option for a house with pets. It does it’s job and then it goes away!

        Did you just suggest that OP napalm a wasp nest on his house?

      For hives just pour a canister of the stuff over it.

      Shock and awe tactics! /S

        This is insufficient in most residential applications. The dwelling must be burned, razed, and re-built.

          I agree that’s the right course of action for many residential areas.
