Does it really? or are you yanking us? Seriously?

Tobacco seems to suck it right out, I have seen chewing tobacco, snuff, and an unraveled cigarette used.
Moisten and apply.

How about a propane torch or charcoal lighter fluid then a match. Zippo fluid would work also.

Are fireworks legal in WA?

Yes lighter fluid does work, but I have a method that never fails, when I was a teenager I worked for an exterminator and came up with this, which I just used again last month. I have a tree in the front yard that gets them every year, this time my son told me we had a really big one and he wasn't lying, the size of my torso, so I went into my stash of old real M-80s and blockbusters, and decided this was big enough for the blockbuster, you fasten it securely to a long pole (disposable) and get into position, have someone light it and shove it in to the middle and wait a second, the whole thing will disintegrate into confetti and some survivors will be crawling around on the ground ,but they don't last long as there wings have been blown off. My neighbors went from calling me crazy and threatening to call the cops, to asking for my help over the years as I have done this many times. The only problem I can see with this method is that you MUST NOT do this with what they call M80s today, as they will get you stung, they must be the old one's we used to be able to get before 9/11, as a blockbuster is now considered a bomb, at least in the peoples republic of N.Y. The fastest and most effective way, IMHO. Fun too.....

As a Scotsman I should be a little offended at being branded cheap. But that was funny 😂

My grandfather's name is Urquart, that's my Scottish, and one of his favorite jokes was that two Scotsman invented copper wire from fighting over a penny.....

Used to have a 2 story house, with one wall covered with Creeping Fig, looked cool, but was as pain, as it had to be trimmed at least twice a year. Wasps, loved it.

Nothing like getting stung, while hanging onto the top of a 20-foot ladder. Night time and the long spray killer works great. I thought wasp could sting repeatedly, not like bees?

Carb killer works for single shot and also is great for killing crickets and spiders you can’t reach, in the garage.
