Why can a simple bowl of gasoline wipe out an entire wasp nest so quickly? In videos like this, people will place a container filled with gasoline directly over the nest, creating a mostly sealed space around it. As the gasoline fumes spread through the air, the chemicals enter the wasps bodies through their breathing openings and begin affecting their nervous systems. A lot of the wasps lose mobility very quickly. And part of why this method works so fast has to do with the wasps group behavior. When worker wasps get disturbed, they release alarm pherommones, causing the entire colony to panic and become more active. As their breathing speeds up, they end up inhaling even more fumes, which makes the effects happen even faster. And once the wasps fall into the gasoline below, their wings get coated by the liquid, making it nearly impossible for them to fly away. But even though this looks simple, it's actually pretty dangerous. Gasoline is highly flammable, and disturbed wasps can suddenly become aggressive and attack. So, the safest option is still to let professional pest control handle the nest properly.
