  1. You spray at night because with no sun they will not travel to far from the nest, in the day time they will fly ever where.


  2. Get a can (maybe 2 if its really big) of bee/wasp spray and read the directions:

    Spray at night when bees are least active

    Wear long sleves, gloves etc, so that you have the least amount of skin showing if the swarm you

    Spray the poision at the opening of the nest. and make sure you get as much of it as possible inside the nest.

    check the hive the next day to see if there are any live bees around, if so, repeat the process that night.

  3. Wait until winter, when the temp is below freezing go cut it down.

    After you have it down, take it to your worst enemy and tell him it's a peace offering, and would look great in the corner of his den. Be sure to keep it cold and leave his house before it thaws out.

  4. Get some wasp  aerosol spray  and shoot the nest early in the morning before it heats up, run for cover, and wait until they settle down, spray again if they are still alive, run for cover,  once they are dead knock down the nest and dispose of it.  Keep  an eye out for new nests starting under the eaves, and spray them as you see them.

  5. Spray it with wasp and hornet spray.  It shoots about 20 feet.  It may take a acouple of treatments.  When all the wasps have left just knock it down and dispose of it.

  6. Punch it. Wasps are smaller than you. If you have ones that are larger than you, call a professional.

  7. Prepare for the worst.

    Get a buddy to help you. Dress in long sleeves,long pants, hat, ski mask, goggles.Gloves

    Purchase 4 cans wasp/hornet spray.

    Look over the area around where you are going to be. Each of you find the path you will use to exit once you have sprayed the nest. Most shoot 20' but you want to be closer than that.

    Each of you pick an area of the nest to shoot at, such as left or right, top or bottom.

    Don't get right under the nest, get back from under it.

    When you start spraying they will start falling out of the nest,

    you will have the urge to run, but try and stay with it as long as you can.

    DO THIS IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING OR EARLY MORNING!!!!!!!!!!

    If they are up high- tape your spray cans to a long sturdy pole.

    Use a pc. of duct tape to tape down spray nozzle then quickly hold it up at nest and spray away.

    Repeat the next day to get any remaining wasps.
