What does the nest look like, is it like the paper wasp, kind of round, with all the cells, under the eave or in the rafters ?
I know the ground type they are funny, disturb the nest, they come out and bumble around to find the aggressor, but if you are far enough and watch em, once they realize nothing is there, back to business as usual, though the ground nests are not really prevalent here, I've stumbled on them on occasion, it's funny when you cover the hole, put a bucket over it etc. the traffic jam of bees starts immediately and they work like heck to clear a path, unreal how they work.
If there is enough distance, ones we have here are not overly aggressive, once a large nest is established I'll leave em as they don't bother me if no one can accidentally disturb the nest, our one place is loaded with them and 30 miles south, we don't seem to get that many. I could use 2 cases of spray to make a dent in them up there, but here, it would be rare to use 1 full can per season.
The best thing you can do is get em all at once, early morning, late evening when it's dark, if they are like the ones we have, if you don't get em all, remaining ones will come back, linger and theres a good chance you'll get stung cause they just hang around and are now agitated, sometimes for days, so if I have to get rid of a nest I plan the best time to do it in case I don't get em all, better left undisturbed, cause you won't get stung.
I can't say what is the best spray, we use on that foams up quite a bit, maybe you'll need more distance, theres a variety of ways to get em, you'll get suggestions here, I spray em where they are to close, other wise it's a huge project to rid the place of them. These kind are susceptible, once they first start to nest, get em then and most times that 1 or 2 tending the nest is all there is, and you got em, but the longer they live the bigger the nest and population.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
