Aww, hell, I’m old enough to be wiser, but I’ll still take out a hard to reach wasp nest with a tightly rolled flaming paper towel torch and some WD40 to nuke some hard to reach spots...flame renders all of their wings immediately useless, and the fire thing has a visceral payoff that I’m not ashamed to admit.
When I was a kid I used to use gas in a little spray can. Hit the wasps and they would die immediately. Was kinds interesting once you’d stirred the nest and they were flying after you.
I get the yellow and black wasps. They leave me alone so I leave them alone until there are so many they virtually own the place. Then I start zapping the nests with the standard spray.
