If I use an extended duster (about 11 inches away) and apply the dust at night (as instructed), will the dust kill the wasps instantly? If it does not, will they try and sting me, or does the dust not agitate them enough? In other words, is it safe to apply Tempo spray directly to the nest, or do I need to apply some sort of instant-kill spray first?
Tempo 1% Dust will not kill instantly and can take a few hours to days to kill contacted insects. You should apply at night when they are less active and less likely to sting and should apply directly to the nest if exposed. It will not agitate them since it is not an instant kill but it would be advisable to wear long sleeves/pants as a precaution.
