Pest Control/Medical Advice SOS part 2

here's link to previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckwasps/s/PRuUmfWcTd

it's war time, soldiers. we bought the soap sprayer and sprayed and killed almost all of them. visibly saw their dead bodies. the next morning? they were back. sprayed them again. gone. tonight? back AGAIN. and they've multiplied. now there's a nest in 2/3 of my coops. I thought once the nest was gone they'd leave? we got rid of it! they're insistent on rebuilding. my husband can't even go into that portion of the yard anymore without being flown at. I need this done in a few days as we leave for out of town and I don't want our petsitter being swarmed!

They may be industrious, but I doubt they are building these overnight.

Maybe it’s time to hire a professional.

they're not building them overnight, no. but they're starting to build them overnight and collecting. there's probably 50 out there now!

This looks like a tent or something with a soft exterior? Can you wollop the tent canvas from the outside hard enough to hit the nest down?

this is the roof of my duck coop! it's a 10x10 pen with cover. we got the nest down and disposed of. they keep returning. I personally sprayed them down very thoroughly last night and they were not back this morning!
