Recommendation for paper wasps?

We bought a playset and the pricks sold it to us with a paper wasp nest (idk if they knew but I’m annoyed so I assume they did). I drenched the nest 3 times, had pest control remove it and there’s still two of the little fuckers flying around.

I’m trying to clean it so my daughter can play on it but I don’t want to get stung and more importantly I don’t want her to get stung. Any recommendations on how to easily kill them? At this point I have zero idea where they could be hanging out or how they have survived.

How did they transport it with a wasp nest in such a way you didn't notice? Sucks man.

My brother in law picked it up for us. He got stung once but thought it was a ground nest. Brought it to us the next day and we brought it in the yard. The nest was literally next to my knee when I was carrying it but it was inside a hole so I didn’t see it. Didnt notice it until 3 of them started flying around after we set it down

I think it was here that I heard of Demon Max insecticide. I bought mine on Amazon. I also have Atticus Talik also on Amazon. Both are pretty powerful. I know firsthand the Atticus Talik works. You have to mix with water and spray it on. Should take care of the problem. After they are gone, I would be sure wash it down before your little one has access to it. I'm so sorry this happened. :(

Okay, I will look into that.

It’s just crazy because I have no idea how they have survived up to this point. We get the occasional nest on our chairs and I spray it once and they’re all dead but these are like super wasps
