While it is possible for trace amounts of an insecticide dust to be carried out of a nest that you have treated, usually insects like yellow jackets or other wasps will transfer the dust to other insects in that nest rather than to insects outside their nest. Of course, we do not recommend applying Tempo 1% Dust or similar products directly to pollinators or to flowering plants. We also recommend treating in the evening when these insects are less active and more likely to contact the insecticide you have applied directly to the nesting area.
