Hit them when they are chasing the protien (now thru jan & feb) you will destroy nests blocks away without having to find the nests.

No good for paper wasps as they won't take bait only hunt live insects.

Google it. Easy online test before you buy.
1 tub will last years if kept in the freezer

Note: what ever you do dont mix it with any sugar based product (jam etc) or you will smoke 100's of bees !!!! This is the main reason it is a protein based bait !!

Hawkeye is protein and carb based and doesn't need to be frozen so is usable all year round

There is only a very small window each year when the wasps are interested in protein, ie now until late feb early march'ish.

Rest of the year i think you will find they are not interested in it.

That's why Hawkeye is sugar based as well and does not attract honey bees.

would you please do another thread or just tack on to this one now OPs issues is gone...about this Hawkeye stuff ...where to get it??? how much??? whats best practise etc..... was at mates place on wet coast a couple of years ago..7 VERY active nests in 10 meters up a steep bank..zapped 5 of them but other two were too active to get near with powder....I just puff it in entrance from as close as I can..usually roots them in hour or so. have done the pipe trick SIMILAR to what Barry discribed except we dipped 1/2" alkathene in pottle,put thumb over top end..poked loaded end into hole an blew hard through my end... bee keeper showed me this 40 years ago.
I maintain its only a matter of time till someone injured and bleeding will be killed by wasps..when they zone in on blood they are shocking.
