Subject: Raid anti wasp paintballs
Date Posted: 19 August 2004 at 9:39pm
Well Yomonts post gave me this idea ( http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=111132&PN=1&TPN=1 - http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp ?TID=111132&PN=1&TPN=1 ). We know of course they they have gelatin balls filled with paint for paintball and gelatin balls filled with pepper for the police but what about gelatin balls filled with Raid anti wasp and hornet poison. It would be great for people like me who are allergic to bees. You just stand back really far, shoot the nest and when the balls explode it spreads its lethal poison all over the bees and thier nest.

Haha, nice idea, but I dont think it would work. I believe raid has a goodly amount of acid in it, so your have to make a Acid-proof paintball casing. If someone made them, Id be one of the first to buy them. Lots of wasps at my house.

O yea..I forgot that it might eat the paint casing.

Dude, I would spend $$ all over that if it was real.  I'm allergic to bees, also.  And around here, it's not wasps I have to worry about.  It's Yellow Jackets and Hornets.  It'd be wicked more efficient than rocks.. Well, I dunno about a 12 guage.. But it'd be a good idea.  I'd buy.  lol

^lmfao.  goood idea though, id like to see a final product.  but it would more tahn likely just blow through the nest, unless you shot it on a hard object near the nest and it exlpodes sending the liquid towards the nest

your about the 8th person to suggest this. Search it first.

One other problem.... if it busts in your gun it would probably screw up every o-ring inside your gun.

EDIT**
I just did this.  It has basicly the same effect as water on the ball but it breaks it down much faster.  I noticed it started to come apart at the seams first.

Did a search nothing came up, I made the thread and its here no so theres nothing I can do about it. Bees nest usually hang off of something so if you just shoot the ball at the nest it will probably go right through it but it will hit the wall roof or deck ithe nest is hanging from and it would explode.

and wtf happens when you leave them in your gun and shoot someone in the mask with it. face it there are iditots everywhere and that would just give them another reason to be stupid and mess with things, just like frozen balls and shooting cars.

plus if there are wasps i'm sure a ball moving 270 fps will reduce them to a splatter

 No, acid would eat up the metal in the gun which is almost everything but the o rings.

That's a great idea but some idiot would take them and shoot them at people. There are still shootings with regular paintballs around here every once in a while.

The acids probably would rust and then compleatly eat the metal away until it was rusted away to nothing. It would need some work but it probably could be done.

I did that to but it didn't really kill all the bees. You would probanly have to put a posion skelaton* face on the box to show that its posionous and health hazard.

hey u know why they dont sell those pepperballs to the public? bcause they could be used to hurt people i know regular paintballs could hurt people w/o masks but if u started to put poison(and tahts what it is) into them and someone started firing them at another person what would happen? anything! but yea it would be a good idea if it was regulated!

Dry Ice is a pain and most likely it wouldn't really do anything. It would hit the wasp nest then go right through. It would only be in the nest for like a fraction of a second, thats not really long enough to do any damage to the bees. The Raid on the other hand wold explode and spead droplets and particles of deadly Raid on the bees and thier nest.

regular paintballs will work to detach a hornet nest from something but if it dosent work i have another approach that isnt as fun pour diesel fuel on the nest at night when they wont fly and they will all be dead or gone the next day and will never be back. ive done it probably 30 times and worked everytime good luck

its not bad of a idea but there would be accidents with people shooting people and it could kill someone if they were allergic to any chemicals it it.of coarse shooting other people that aint playing give the sport of paintball a bad name.

That would be awesome. Im not allergic to bees but i hate getting stung. I think my bee sting count is at 15. I would borrow an angel and sit back and pelt those darn insects. It would be funny to watch you shoot a ball into the hive and you see them just fall out of the sky. I got stung in my throat once because I swallowed it.

pour gas in the nest and on the nest, toss a match on the nest. Then watch it explode.

tried gas and fire it wont work. they were fine. it just made them really mad. diesel fuel is the answer dont light it the smell will drive them away and the fuel will kill them

Ive done the Gas and fire thing to (yea basically Im a bee killing pro and I've tried everything out there). Me and my friend got his lighter fluid, poured it all over the hornets nest then lit a match and watch it burned. Then while the nest was burning he lit a match and put it a the tip of the bottle and squeezed it, It was a homemade flame thrower.lol.

Cant we all just get along
the simplist thing to do would  be to learn there launguage
and mate with their women
and over we will live in harmony :)
lol
i dont really hav a bee problem
buit either way
i wouldnt risk my gun
or waste any air
or pay more for these poison paint balls
or risk getting stung trying to look cool
 
i put on a long sleeve shirt
sum jeans
and a can of raid
 
go out...spray it all over them...mostly on the nest
 
and then book it back to the house...an hour later....repeat and kill the survivors
(also wear sum type of eye protection...a unfavorable gust of wind will blow that poison to ur face)
 
simple
and as safe as it get
lol
 
good idea though

The 25 - 30 foot spray can isn't good enough?  About the best way I could see a marker involved in this is to add a few holes to the nest before you spray it. 
Intresting idea, but wouldn't / couldn't be used in most citys / towns due to city laws.
