Best way we have found to be rid of them is catch the nests before they hatch with a hand held propane torch.

Yep. Was a rite of Spring-time every year back home. Bit of hornet spray and lighter for those up on high...

THe latest hyperventilating and making a big deal out of nothing.

These things were a major pest in the northeast 20+ years ago, and they have receded as the environment has dealt with them.

Same with all of the stuff, Quagga and Zebra Mussels, are now part of the ecosystem. They peak and crash then resume in an equilibrium with the environment that includes them.

This too will passs. While it may be ugly for a few years things will get back to normal

I remember my grandpa doing just that 50 years ago. Every year. The bugs are still here.
