    Sorry hun, but you get no sympathy here from us. Wasps will return to another area. But in the meantime you are going to have to kill them. If the construction workers get stung, and you refuse to get rid of the nest, they can sue you.

    What you are going to have to do is to get ANY kind of wasp/yellowjacket/hornet spray. The spray shoots out about 15 to 25 feet. You simply spray the nest in the evening, and wait about 24 hours to physically remove the nest. Just read the instructions on the bottle. If you are that bothered by killing wasps, get a guy to do it. Wasps can be beneficial to some gardens, they can and most likely will come back and relocate their nest.

    There is no way to relocate the nest. It will be stuck hard where it is and will fall apart if you try to move it. This will result in a nest full of very angry wasps, swarming onto anyone within range. I'm afraid the only way is to destroy the wasps, before moving the nest. If you are in England, you could ask a fisherman to remove it for you, as they use the grubs for bait, otherwise get in touch with the coucil pest control department.

    Wasps are quite aggressive. If you attempt to physically relocate their nest the odds are that you will be attacked by a great deal of the nests inhabitants. I honestly would not attempt to move them. As heartless as I am going to sound, it is safest for you and the workers to have someone use wasp spray on them.

    I hear smoke will cause them to fly out of their nest. i think of getting a bee healthful (healthful that forestalls bees from stinging) and carrying the nest away is in all likelihood the alternative which will reason the least loss of life between the wasps.

    I bet that if you or some of the kids get stung you'll think differently dear...Spray them with Raid(wasp) , take a broom and knock it down. Have a good day.

    You do realize that they will be pissed if you tamper with their nest, so I wouldn't advise this....

    Try to put the nest in a shoebox and take it to somewhere open and just open it up and let them free.

  • You can get some smoke and put them to sleep then move the nest to a new location and they would go to it......Or you can call a bee keeper and ask him.....

    cold weather should have taken care of that.

    Just knock down nest and move on.

    Wasp return to an area- if nest is moved they don't follow it.

    Either call your local Animal Control or call the city. If someone gets stung and they are allergic to them and they are on your property you will be held liable.
