[DIY] Wasps
I knew I was a real live grownup the day it was MY turn to go kill the wasps! Yes, get some of that Hotshot hornet spray stuff or Raid or similar that sprays 8 or 10 feet. Go out stealthily in the dark, armed with hornet spray and powerful flashlight. (A henchperson is helpful but not necessary.) Turn the flashlight on the nest, stand as far away as you think the Hotshot will reach, and spray. If it doesn't go far enough, move a little closer and try again. When the Hotshot impacts the nest, give it a 5 second or so spray and then get out of there pronto. Observe the nest the next day for movement -- if you see any movement, repeat the next night. If you are allergic to stings, do NOT be a hero -- get someone else to do the dirty deed. Anaphylactic shock is no joke. (Though your original post was! :) Ann
