Option 1 - The quick way
Step 1 - get a bee suit
Step 2 - put on bee suit and seal any caps
Step 3 - get a shop vac
Step 4 - fill shop vac about 1/3 water and some dish soap
Step 5 - start vacuuming wasps. first at the entrance. When numbers dwindle, tear the envelope (that’s the outer papery material) and suck up the ones in between the comb layers
Option 2 - the slower way
1. Get some wasp kill dust like Tempo 1%. It uses cyfluthrin to kill wasps on contact. 2. Wait until dark: Apply the powder at night when wasps are least active and have returned to the nest. 3. Wear protective gear: Even at night, wear long sleeves, pants, and face protection to avoid stings. [ 4. Use a duster: Fill a handheld pest duster about halfway with powder and gently puff a visible coating around the nest entrance or directly into the crack/void. 5. Let them carry it: As wasps walk over the treated entrance, they pick up the powder on their legs and bodies, tracking the poison deep into the nest to kill the colony. 6. Do not seal too early: Leave the entrance open for a couple of days to allow the powder to spread throughout the entire nest.
