I've wondered about this... what really prevents them from crawling back out that hole?

A mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray bottle kills them as fast as the canned wasp killer and won't damage most surfaces. Mix it pretty strong but not so strong that it's too thick to spray easily. The instant it touches the bug it will be unable to fly and will die in seconds.
I assume death by suffocation. I've never seen one come back out and initially looked for this.Originally posted by: ta8689

Death?
