I just uncovered my boat today and thought I would ask and see if anyone has ever solved this problem. Every year while my boat is in my back yard uncovered I always have wasp or yellow jackets make their home inside my gunwales. It's usually right behind the outrigger holder. Does anyone know what I can do to stop this from happening.

Bees
Last year we had a 5 foot iguanna living on the boat. One of the guys caught a glimpse of him climbing into the boat from the dock in FL Keys. Climbed up inside the walkaround toe rail. He could freely move from the cockpit to bow and back down the other side. Finaly chased him out by poking him with a tape measure from inside the cabin. What a PITA!
Bees, wasps, etc. I would spray and then hose and go!

I keep a can of wasp spray in my boat as I have discovered nests under the gunnels several times. Note this is in a dry stack marina.
