    Carb cleaner, I chase individual ones with carb cleaner with the straw attached.

    Nests? A real old tapered-side glass half-full of gasoline. Takes talent! Gas comes flying out fast as-strewn at the opposing nest.

    Learned this as a youngster working and clearing power right-of-ways.
    Hit it right, they all fall like flies.
    Either way, splash and run!
    "Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
    I rest my case.

    So essentially the best way to deal with a wasp nest is a modified Molotov cocktail? Might be a little over kill.

    Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

    Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

    Excellent!

    I'm blessed with English, Irish, Scottish and French, and the inner turmoil, fear and rage that goes with it.....the English side is a teetotaller, my Irish wants to buy everyone a drink and get p$ssed, and the Scottish side of me is too cheap to pay and the French side just wants to run away from it all....

    As a Scotsman I should be a little offended at being branded cheap. But that was funny 😂

    My grandfather's name is Urquart, that's my Scottish, and one of his favorite jokes was that two Scotsman invented copper wire from fighting over a penny.....

    Used to have a 2 story house, with one wall covered with Creeping Fig, looked cool, but was as pain, as it had to be trimmed at least twice a year. Wasps, loved it.

    Nothing like getting stung, while hanging onto the top of a 20-foot ladder. Night time and the long spray killer works great. I thought wasp could sting repeatedly, not like bees?

    Carb killer works for single shot and also is great for killing crickets and spiders you can’t reach, in the garage.
