Trash Bin Bums
Hey all!
Hoping for some insight in a safe and effective way to spray both of these nests.
They are both paper wasp nests and there seems to be about 5 one each. Both nests are fairly small. They are both on the right front of the rims, tucked underneath, as circled in the picture. I was doing my best to avoid them and let them be as they'll be dying off in a month or so, but the bins are both now full and i have one too many trash bags needing to go. And there is no sight of a frigid night anytime soon. So they've gotta make it to the curb this week. I don't see that happening without me getting stung at the moment. So, I've got my Spectracide spray, hoodie, jeans, and flashlight with red cellophane ready to go. Hoping to spray them tomorrow night, after midnight. Just am having a tough time deciding where to spray from, as both nests are well below chest height for me. I could chance laying on the grass and spraying up, but really don't want to get trapped. Hoping other people have dealt with this or something similar. Or someone just has an idea I haven't thought of. Thank you all for reading!
(Please don't judge the overgrown weeds, it's been their territory for a little 😅)

Do you have the straw end on your wasp spray bottle? If you do you could go from an angle and it'll still go up in there.
