Greetings all!
Last year I made the Monster Mud Reaper from the tutorials section. It has been safely tucked away in a back corner of the shed since the fall. I checked it out last week after noticing the wasps crawling about on it, and there was a nest of vicious wasps inside, about in the middle. I sprayed some wasp killer chemicals down through a hole in the chicken wire, but to my dismay they are still alive and kickin.
Any suggestions for how to get rid of them? The whole reaper is sealed up, i'd prefer not to have to dismantle it to get take the nest out, but if that's the only way to get rid of them I guess I will have to..

Could you wrap the entire MM Reaper in plastic, then spray the poison?
(trying to make it as airtight as possible, of course)

Plastic to be removed when you're ready to display your Reaper...

Thanks for the suggestion UglyJoe!
Do you think I could use something like seran wrap or some other type of plastic that is thicker and more durable?

What about covering the entire prop in plastic (drop cloth) and then mega bug bombing the little buggers?

Yes, a bug bomb does sound like the ticket. If you can prop it - without getting stung in the processes - so that it sprays into the reaper, then throw a plastic sheet over the reaper, that'll get them...unless they're zombie wasps, in which case keep them as they'll enhance the prop's effect.

Be sure to vent out the garage well when done, and seal any openings in the reaper to prevent a repeated experience.

Lol Great. Zombie wasps... then they can sting and sting and Never ever die, even when crushed.

But Zombie Wasps will fly very slow.....

Boy, you'd have to have pretty good aim for a head shot of a zombie wasp. Plus, you'd need a teeny, tiny bullet.

I say leave the wasps. Who's not afraid of wasps?

LOL, thanks for the suggestions. This year's haunt will include a chase given by live wasps!
Although, not all zombies are slow- 28 weeks/days later!!
