We have used the same method you described in the past on smaller nests, but this one is really hard to reach. I was encouraged today, by a lack of wasp activity near the nest. We may try to spray it one more time and see what happens before we call in the experts! And yes - I had on long pants and my winter coat and hood when we sprayed!!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-11048535127223858692014-09-05T21:28:14.728-06:002014-09-05T21:28:14.728-06:00I wish I had sn answer but I don't.

They just clean and spray stuff that can be reached. If it happened to a similar spot like yours, they wouldn't see or reach it. I think I'm walking out right now just to check. And yes, an exterminator would be a good choice for you right now. Good luck!

Tha...We are even similar when it comes to insects! That is actually a nest built by paper wasps, which are a type of hornet. We had two that same size that we discovered on the 4th of July, hanging in our gazebo. My stubborn husband refused to call the exterminator. It took about 10 days and 5 cans of spray, but he just kept spraying them day after day until the hives finally collapsed and fell down. You are right to do it in the evening or early morning, when they are less active. Protective gear is a good idea too! These wasps will sting you over and over - they don't die after one sting.
