I usually don't have the patience to "wait until dark". I just blast them with Raid, from a distance if they're aggressive. Last Friday, I tore 50 ft of gutter and fascia board off a barn roof for an addition. I knew there were some wasp/hornets nests in there so I had 2 cans of Raid at my side. I was able to work right at the eaves, got the gutter and fascia board off with just a few buzzing around my head and hands. Never got stung. Smacked a few with my gloved hand if they got too close. Then I could see the nests all along the underside of the steel roofing for about 10 ft along the eave and going up the underside of the raised ribs. No telling how far up they went. So I grabbed the spray cans and started spraying up under the roof ribs. Wow, Katie bar the door! They came out like.... well.... mad hornets. I ran out of Raid but was able to loose install the rafters for the addition up under the existing roof but they wouldn't let me get close enough to nail them down. I find that if you have one or two buzzing around, they're not much of a bother, but they must feel pretty brave when they're in numbers. And they WERE in numbers. Plan for this Friday is about half a dozen cans of Raid and lift up the metal roofing to see how far up they go. I want to get rid of all the nests if I can, although some people say, leave the nests, they won't return to one that's been sprayed. Don't feel like testing that theory. Good luck with your infestation, but that's why I like the Northern climate. We only have to deal with skeeters, flies, bees, hornets for half the year.
