War hath been declared in my garage

[ACORN]

Kosher salt is like double aught buck on the big guys—they're wearing body armor so regular table salt doesn't quite cut it!

Good to know!
But what if the bugs aren't Jewish?

I used to blast their nest with the pressure washer as they like to build around the carport. Then I found out they really like spiders so I leave a few of their homes and I rarely see a spider. I have chemicals I can use but this way is free, no poison, and requires no work from me.

Rather than kill or capture,, I tried repel this year,,
those bugs are territorial, and go elsewhere if the location is taken,,

I ordered these fake hornets nests,, they have worked 100%,, no mud daubers in 2025,,

Amazon sells them,, they are amazing quality,, ~$3 each,,

But still have the problem

I have declared war on the dirt daubers that are constantly trying to build their filthy mud tubes in my garage. In the heat of the summer Daisy likes to hang out on the cool concrete flooring in the garage so I don't want to use any spray chemicals. I found these PIC Fly Sticks from Lowe's and at this point I am holding my own against them.

Looks like you better order a case of those orange stickies before they make something like the pic below from my BIL's deck. Best of luck!

FWIW, the cheap carb. cleaner from walmart with the little red tube inserted will drop any bug….

Don't poke that with a stick unless you can really fast.
