Took care of a wasp’s nest about the size of a softball all the way up in the peak of the eaves today, beyond the range of a can of long shot, had to break out the ladder to get within range. I’ll have to hit the area again in the early cool AM when all the ones that weren’t home the first time, have returned and still sluggish in the cool morning.

Thanks to a power outage, that effected most of the town, for close to 3.5 hrs. Looks like i lost out on a few trading post deals.

I've used the Ortho Home Defense Hornet & Wasp Killer with great effect. 15' range and has a thick foam that encapsulates the nest. I've never had to retreat.

That's unfortunate. The UPS in my home office sent me an email last night that we had a power dip at 3:24am that was just momentary.

It was, but other people in the area didn't get power back until 2-3 in the a.m. If it wasn't raining i would have got the generator running.

I use more cheap and caveman ish method.
I use water hose and spray it from distance.
When it absorb water, hive gets heavy and fall on the ground.
I retreat about 30 yards.
Tries the method twice so far.
