يمكنك التخلص من الدبابير والزنابير الصفراء حول المنزل بطريقة ذكية تصل إلى المستعمرة نفسها، مع ترك نحل العسل دون أذى. يشرح هذا الشرح العملي كيف يعمل الطُعم الحلو مع حمض البوريك لقتل المستعمرة من الداخل، ولماذا لا ينجذب إليه نحل العسل الذي يلتزم بالزهور، كما يوضح متى يكون بخاخ الماء وصابون الأطباق مناسباً للأعشاش الصغيرة والمنخفضة فقط.
التركيبة بسيطة: عصير تفاح حلو مع ملعقتين صغيرتين من حمض البوريك النقي، يوضع في أوعية صغيرة مع عود كمنحدر حتى تشرب الدبابير وتعود إلى العش. وعند الحاجة إلى إسقاط عش نشط قريب، تأتي طريقة الماء والصابون من مسافة آمنة عند الغسق، مع ارتداء ملابس واقية وترك طريق هروب واضح، مع تجنب أي عش حول الكهرباء تماماً. كما يوضح الفيديو متى يجب ترك المهمة للمحترفين، خاصة مع الأعشاش الكبيرة أو المرتفعة أو داخل الجدران أو عند وجود حساسية من اللسعات.
هذا محتوى منزلي وتعليمي عن مكافحة الدبابير، طُعم الدبابير، قتل الزنابير، حماية نحل العسل، وإزالة أعشاش الدبابير بأمان. مناسب لمن يبحث عن pest control for wasps, yellowjacket control, safe wasp removal, bee-safe pest control, and home bug control with practical seasonal prevention tips.

00:00There is a way to be rid of the wasps and yellow jackets around your home that most
00:04folk have never heard of, and it does the very thing that seems impossible.
00:10It wipes out whole colonies of them, and yet leaves your honeybees completely unharmed.
00:17Think on that, for it is the heart of the matter.
00:20When most folks see a wasp, they grab a can and spray the one they see, or they go at
00:26a nest in a fury and get themselves stung for the trouble, and either way, the colony
00:31lives on and builds again next week.
00:34But there is an older, cleverer way that reaches the whole colony without your ever going near
00:41it, and a second way to knock down a nest safely when you must, both from cheap, plain things.
00:48And I am going to show you both today, and, just as important, how to do them without
00:54getting stung.
00:54Let me show you.
00:56Here is the thing to understand first, for it is the whole cleverness of the first method,
01:01and the same principle I have shown you for the ants and the roaches.
01:05When you swat or spray the wasps you see, you kill a few foragers, but the nest, with its
01:12queen and its hundreds, lives on untouched and sends out more.
01:17So to truly be rid of them, you must reach the whole colony, and you cannot spray your way
01:23to a hidden nest.
01:24But a bait uses the wasps themselves against themselves.
01:29You set out something they love to eat, laced with a slow poison they cannot taste, and they
01:35carry it home to the nest, and feed it round to the others and the queen, and the whole colony
01:41dies from the inside.
01:42And here is the wonder that makes it safe for your bees.
01:46The bait is sweet.
01:48And while the wasps and yellow jackets are powerfully drawn to a sweet bait, the honeybees are not.
01:54They keep to their flowers and leave your bait alone.
01:57So the one bait wipes out the wasp colonies and never touches the bees, which is the thing
02:03that seems impossible and is not.
02:06Reach the colony through the wasps' own carrying home, with a sweet the bees ignore.
02:11Now let me give you how.
02:13Quick word before we go further.
02:15My name is Esther Yoder, and the old household ways handed down to me the kind I am sharing today,
02:21and a great many more besides, are far more than I could ever fit into one video.
02:27I have gathered the whole of them into a book, and you will find it at EliasYoder.com.
02:33If today's tips serve you, that is where the rest of what my mother and grandmother taught
02:38me lives, all in the one place.
02:41Now to the wasps.
02:43My grandmother had a saying that fits this exactly, the same root truth I have given you
02:48for every pest that nests, that you do not fight the swarm, you strike the nest, for the
02:54swarm is only what the nest sends out.
02:57She meant that battling the wasps you see is battling the symptom forever, while the whole
03:03trouble pours from a nest you must reach to end, and that the wise soul finds a way to
03:09the nest rather than swatting at the air.
03:11And the wasp, with its hidden nest and its stinging foragers, is the very picture of it.
03:17So here is her kind of nest striking, the bait first, and then the spray for a nest you must
03:24take down by hand.
03:25So the first method, the bait, and it is two plain things.
03:30The first is sweet apple juice, the plain, cheap kind, which is your lure, for the wasps
03:36and yellow jackets are drawn to that sweet powerfully, and will come to it from a good
03:40way off.
03:41And the second is boric acid, that white powder, just a couple of teaspoons, which is your slow,
03:48hidden weapon.
03:49For boric acid is lethal to insects in even a small dose, and has no taste nor smell to
03:55warn them off.
03:57So stir a couple of teaspoons of pure boric acid, and mind pure boric acid, nothing else
04:04mixed in, into the apple juice until it is well dissolved.
04:08That is your bait made.
04:10Now, how to set it out?
04:11And there is a clever bit to it.
04:13Pour just a little of the bait, not a lot, into the bottom of a small open can or cup,
04:19and here is why only a little.
04:21You do not want the wasps to drown in it, for a drowned wasp never makes it home to the
04:26nest, and carrying it home is the whole point.
04:29You want them to land, drink their fill of the sweet poison, and fly back to feed the
04:34colony.
04:35And to help them get down to a low bait, and back out without drowning, put a little stick
04:41down into the can as a ramp.
04:44Then set several of these little bait stations about, wherever the wasps are a trouble, and
04:50let them sit and do their work.
04:52The wasps come, drink, carry it home, and over the days the colonies that feed on it
04:58die off from the inside.
05:00And you never went near a nest, nor risked a sting.
05:05And because the bees will not touch the sweet bait, you can set these stations even near
05:11your beehives in perfect safety.
05:14Now, the important safety word on that boric acid.
05:19The same firm line I give you every time, for it is a poison.
05:24Boric acid is lethal to insects.
05:27And while it is not a lethal dose to a dog or a cat or a child, in the small
05:33amount in
05:34a bait station, it is still a poison and not a thing to be eaten.
05:39So treat it with respect.
05:41Wear gloves when you mix it.
05:44Set your bait stations where children and pets truly cannot reach them and knock them
05:49over and get into them.
05:51Up and out of the way.
05:53And keep the box of boric acid itself up high and put away.
05:59Respected so, it is a safe and mighty thing.
06:03Treated careless, it is a poison.
06:06Keep it from being eaten and out of reach.
06:10Now that bait handles the colonies over time and needs no confrontation at all, which is
06:17the safest way by far.
06:19But sometimes you have an active nest right there that you need down now, by your door
06:26or under your eave.
06:27And for that, here is the second method.
06:30A spray from the plainest thing in your house.
06:34Dish soap and water.
06:36Fill a sprayer with water.
06:38Pour in a good squirt of plain dish soap until it is nice and soapy and shake it up.
06:45And you may wonder how mere soap and water kills a wasp.
06:50Here is the clever truth.
06:52A wasp breathes not through a mouth, but through tiny holes along its body.
06:58And the soapy water coats it and blocks up those breathing holes and gets through its
07:05waxy shell so that it simply cannot breathe and it drops.
07:10Soap and water, no poison at all, drowns them where they hang.
07:15It is cheap, it is in every house and it works.
07:20But hear me now, for the spray is the dangerous method, far more than the bait.
07:26Because with the spray, you are going right up to an active nest full of things that sting.
07:33And I want you to do it safely.
07:35So here are the rules.
07:38First, do it at dusk or after dark, in the cool of evening.
07:42For that is when the wasps are all home in the nest and sluggish and slow,
07:48not out flying and hot tempered as in the heat of the day.
07:52The evening nest is a calm nest.
07:56Second, stand back as far as your sprayer will reach and still hit the nest well.
08:03Do not put your face up to it.
08:05A good sprayer throws a stream a fair distance, so use that distance.
08:11Third, once you start spraying, do not stop.
08:15Keep the stream on the nest steady until they are all down and still.
08:21Do not spray once and step in close to look.
08:25Fourth, have your way out clear behind you.
08:29Know where you are going to step back and away to, so that if they come out at you,
08:34you have a clear path to retreat and are not backed into a corner.
08:38And cover yourself well, long sleeves, long trousers, battened up.
08:45For the skin you do not cover is the skin that gets stung.
08:50Dusk, distance, a steady stream, an escape path and covered up.
08:56Keep those and the soap spray is a safe way to take a nest.
09:00And here is a safety warning that is its own thing and matters greatly, so heed it well.
09:08Never ever spray water, soap water or any water at a wasp nest that is built around a light fixture
09:17or an electrical box or any electrical thing.
09:22And there are always nests built right up in the lights.
09:25Why? Because water and electricity together will shock you, badly, even kill you.
09:34Water carries the electricity right up the stream to your hand.
09:39So a nest around a light or an electric box is one you do not spray with water at all.
09:45That one leave to a professional who has the proper non-water product made safe for electrical places.
09:52Never water near electricity, ever.
09:55And now the honest word about when this is a job for a professional and not for you.
10:01For I will not send you up a ladder to your harm.
10:04If the nest is very big, or high up and hard to reach, or inside a wall or the ground
10:11where you cannot get at it,
10:12or if it is one of those around the electrical, then do not risk yourself.
10:17That is a professional's job and worth the cost.
10:21And above all, and hear this plainly, if you or anyone in your household is allergic to stings,
10:27if a sting brings on a bad reaction, then you must not go near a nest at all, not for
10:34any homemade method.
10:35A sting can be a true emergency for such a person.
10:39So that nest is for a professional, always, and you keep your distance.
10:44The bait, which needs no confrontation, is your safe method for the allergic household,
10:50and for any nest you cannot safely reach.
10:53The spray is only for a small, low, reachable nest with no electricity and no allergy in the house.
11:01Match the method to the danger, and never let pride nor thrift put you in harm's way with a thing
11:08that stings.
11:09And a word on keeping them from coming back, for prevention is better than either method.
11:15The wasps build up under your eaves and soffits, in the rafters, up around the lights, in the sheltered dry
11:21spots.
11:22So early in the season, before the nests get going, knock down the little starting nests the moment you see
11:29them,
11:30when they are small and hold but a wasp or two.
11:33For a starting nest is easily dealt with, where a grown one is a danger.
11:38And keep the bait stations out through the season, to take the colonies as they try to establish.
11:44Catch them early and small, and you never face the big grown nest at all.
11:49Now think a moment about why we came to fight the wasps one at a time with a costly can
11:55of spray,
11:56or to risk a bad stinging going at a grown nest in a fury,
12:01when a little apple juice and boric acid wipes out the colonies from a safe distance,
12:06and a squirt of dish soap takes a nest down for pennies.
12:10It is worse than a plot, for no one had to arrange it.
12:14There is a good trade in the wasp sprays and the exterminators call,
12:19and none at all in teaching folk that a sweet bait carried home reaches the whole colony while sparing the
12:25bees,
12:26and that plain soap and water drowns a nest.
12:29So the plain old knowing of striking the nest through the wasps own habits,
12:35rather than battling the swarm, just stopped being handed down,
12:39because no one profits by your solving it with juice and soap.
12:42My grandmother's people dealt with the wasps by the old, cheap ways,
12:47and kept their bees safe besides.
12:50And somewhere between their day and ours, we were taught to buy the can and swat at the air.
12:56The mending of it is apple juice, boric acid, and dish soap.
13:00You make the sweet bait with a couple of teaspoons of boric acid in apple juice,
13:05set it in little cans with a stick to climb,
13:08and let the wasps carry it home to wipe out the colonies,
13:11safe near your bees and needing no confrontation.
13:15You keep that boric acid respected and out of reach, for it is a poison.
13:21And for a small, low, reachable nest with no electricity near,
13:26you spray it at dusk with plain, soapy water from a safe distance,
13:31covered up with your way out clear.
13:33You never spray water near a light or an electric box.
13:37And you leave a big nest, a wall nest, an electrical one, or any nest at all,
13:43if there is a sting allergy in the house, to a professional.
13:46And you catch the starting nests early and small.
13:50And you are rid of the wasps without a harsh poison and without a bad stinging.
13:55That is how it comes home.
13:57One baited colony, one nest at a time.
14:01The keeping of your own place back in your own hands.
14:04So here is what I would ask of you.
14:06This season, set out a bait station or two of the apple juice and boric acid the way I showed
14:12you,
14:13in a safe spot up out of reach, and let it go to work on the colonies.
14:17And come back and tell me in the comments how it thinned the wasps over the weeks,
14:22and whether you were glad to be rid of them without ever going near a nest,
14:25for I do love to hear of a trouble beaten cleverly instead of dangerously.
14:30And tell me, too, while you were there, your county and the age of your house,
14:34for the old barns and eaves and porches are where the wasps love to build,
14:39and I learn from every one of you how it goes where you live.
14:43And if your own mother or grandmother had a way with the wasps that I have not named here,
14:48tell me that most of all, for that is how this goes.
14:51We share what we were given.
14:53I read every comment, and I learn from you the way the old women learned from one another
14:58across the fence line, one season and one home at a time.
15:03Next time, I will show you the old ways of keeping the stinging things off your porch
15:07and your table through the summer, the wasps and the hornets and the biting flies,
15:12with the plain traps and the simple scents that let a family sit out of an evening in peace,
15:18so that between the bait for the colonies and these small keepings,
15:22you have the whole stinging season in hand.
15:24There is a right and an old way to keep a household's yard livable in the stinging season
15:30that runs on cleverness and cheap, plain things, rather than a can of poison and a risked stinging.
15:36But this season, you start with the wasps.
15:39You set the sweet bait to carry home and wipe out the colonies, safe by your bees.
15:44And you keep the boric acid from the children.
15:47You take a small, reachable nest with plain soap and water at dusk, from a distance,
15:53with your way out clear, and never near electricity.
15:56And you leave the big and the high and the electrical and the allergic to a professional.
16:02And you will understand, as my grandmother did, that you do not fight the swarm but strike the nest,
16:08that the wasps' own carrying home can be turned against the whole colony while the bees are spared,
16:14and that the cleverest way is the one that needs no dangerous confrontation at all.
16:19The household kept the plain old way is the one that remembers how the old folks struck the nest
16:25through cheap juice and soap and cleverness, and kept themselves unstung and their bees unharmed.
16:32And that is a thing we are only just starting to remember.
16:35So, remember.
16:35So, remember.
16:36So, remember.
