They must go

| I realize all g-d's creatures have a right to live, but I have a very large grayish, papery hive below my raised deck. It has become impossible for me to use the deck, the back stairs and a dinner guest was stung last Thurs. I think the nest/hive is paper wasps or hornets. Please provide instructions how to remove this hive as it is very visable and easy to get at, but I fear being stung. Thanks for any recommendations. |

There are many ways,... this is what I would do...wait until dark, take a good strong garbage bag and spray a good dose of wasp killer in, [small opening of bag], then holding it closed. Get into position, very quickly, 2 or 3 second move, over the nest and into the bag, tie up the bag and quickly put away somewhere in the garden and leave it over night.

| Before you take Konrad's advice, I would either invest in a bee suit, or otherwise wear heavy clothing, gloves, and boots. Be sure to tape shut the pants and shirt cuffs. A bee helmet would also be advisable. |
