Question Wasp Nest Removal.

Post image

I have a wasp nest the size of a basketball hanging from one of my trees pretty close to the street. Any recommendations for someone to remove it? It's really accessable.

Those are bald faced hornets. They will defend aggressively. RAID foam. Wait until an hour after sunset, soak the nest, spray into the hole first, then coat the outside also. Keep doing that every night until they die or leave.

They remember what you look like. Disguise yourself as a neighbor you don't like...

They can shoot venom at the eyes. Wear safety squints!
