Well, the propellant, anyway, I don't know about the active ingredients themselves...

Virtually all commercial wasp sprays are flammable.
The "active ingredients" are, what, three percent? In fact, I'll bet it's the petroleum carrier that does most of the damage.
Danged if it didn't smell a bit like kerosene.

Well, personally, i don't light it. I just spray them.
imagine that! kinda like wd40, since that's what it basically is. probably work as wasp spray if you could get it to jet stream.
Sevin is good, may take a day to do the job though.

The sevin I've seen, has been powder. How does a person get the powder into the nest?

Maybe if I use the tube. Probably work as well as the crap I bought.

There are various kinds of "dusters" for that purpose. Some have a pump, I believe, similar to garden sprayers. Some are small rubber bulbs, like an ear syringe. The goal is to cause the insect to contact the dust, so a small amount at the entry probably does the trick.
That really burns me.
Now that you mention it....
Neat idea. I didn't know such devices were made. How are they used?
Thanks, good idea. I'll have to ask at the farm and garden store.
Forget easily? You asked about this a long ways back, about your church. Sevin Dust was suggested and others gave a method of application. It was a duster.
IIRC, I mentioned that I bought a 1950's era pump duster I purchased from a Flea Market -- after looking for many years in the "old stuff" piles.
The old ones were for liquid or powder - both were different styles. Some were made by, or at least had "Black Flag" brand paint markings.
Yes, I do forget easily. I sometimes lose my place while I'm, oh, look, a squirrel outside the window. Wish they would stay out of the bird feeder. Have we had breakfast, yet, honey? And where did I put that wide mouth jar of slippers I left in the shed with the Multimaster tool.
