Deer Stand wasp repellant

**Mustad7731** · #1 12-01-2007, 04:50 PM

I just built a pretty nice deer stand....I thought that it was 'tight enuf' to not
have a problem with wasp...I was wrong...
Do any of you guys have any ideas what I can put inside to repel wasp...I
really do not want to set a bowl of insecticide inside and have to air out the
stand for hours before I re-occupy the stand...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

When that has happened to me which is every season I've used box blinds.
About Sept or Oct. I put a fogger in the box quietly and close the door. They havent come back till the following year. It kills the majority of them if you set it right before dark and all are back from foraging.
I'ts never failed me. I dont remember ever having to do it twice in one fall.

Like Redfishr said, use a fogger. Preferably unscented.

They sell a case of 6 wasp foggers @ home depot.

This year my inside windowns close down on weather stripping. I had not a single wasp issue. Now those black fuzzy spiders is a different story.

I've heard you can use no pest strips but I'm not sure about the smell factor.

was gonna post a a very flammable reply, but smoke got in my eyes.
cheap cigars will also repel insects.

We sprayed Bengal Ant and Roach spray in ours this past trip. This stuff is great for the house and kills for months, so I figured I would give it a try in the stand. It will have an initial smell that will be gone in an hour.

It was a spider grave yard the next morning and should kill any insect that gets in your stand. Just hit all the corners and especially anywhere you think stuff is coming in.

I heard you can hang downy sheets and they will not come in there. I have not personally tried it but I was told it works.

I did not belive it whe I was told to do it but I tried it and IT WORKS! hanf a no pest bran dfly strip in the top of the blind and put sevin dust under carpet / on the floor etc... every season before start o fthe seasonand no wasps, yello wjackets, spiders etc.... I dont fight them anymore for the last 5 years since I have been using this method.

I got the idea from the owner of the company who makes the BLYND. It is also on his website. Try it and you will be very happy!
