spray your gas oil mix at the bottum . the fumes will run them out and you can spray the wasp themselves. forget this if its near a pilot lite ,and no smoking.:)

sorry to disagree with AWM but where on the label of your gas/oil mix does it say that it kills wasps. You are just polluting your own house by following his advice. Hire a professional pest control operator to get your wasps the safe way. You will find that they spray the area with Ficam dust. That way the little guys walk through the insecticide and return to the nest and kill the queen. Demand CS, Tempo Ultra, and Delta Dust are good ones too.

just get a can of that hot shot bee killer. wait till dark and spray it where they are entering. they will exit out. just keep spraying. it kills them instantly. a pest control expert may be the best way out in your situation though.

sorry to disagree there fire ball .wow. my method is one our family has used for ,well a long time.
wouldnt suggest anyone use it who feels its unsafe though.
by the way a lot of us on here have the license to kill bugs.

By all means use tempo ultra.Had one hell of a nest in the wall of my barn.sprayed the opening at night along with the perrimiter of the bulding. You will see less and less activity till they are gone.

If the nest is 4ft off the ground or less you can repeatedly crash your truck into the side of the house until you crush them. I feel this is a sound solution to your problem.Hope this helps!

Don't try the method I did, I had a nest in one of my concrete foundation blocks. So I thought I would be smart and go out at night and just patch it, thinking they would just die. Well the next evening my wife is screaming from the basement, when I go down, there were bees everywhere. It seems that they couldn't get back outside, they found a way to get inside. This did not inpress my wife, so I ended up getting a bug bomb and setting it off the next morning in the basement. Bees gone, wife happy!

Hmmm pour gas near your home? Thats a good one Awm LOL. You dont by any chance work for the volenteer fire dept do you? We had those kinda fireman go around and start brush fires just so they would have something to do(they got caught) I think they loved their jobs a little too much. Awn, piromania run in your family? haha

Piromania isn't a word.

Pyromania is an irresistible impulse to start fires.

Piranha is a small characin fish that often attacks and inflicts dangerous wounds upon men and large animals.

NOW if you could get the Piranha to eat the Bees in your siding, you'd be SET!!!

Hahaha. I was skipping this post because the title wasnt interesting, and am glad I just read it, I needed the laugh. If you are scared to kill the bees with a spray, hire someone. If not, wear long pants and sleeves, duct tape any possible entrance to your clothing, not to your skin though! Wear a ski mask and goggles, and go spray spray spray. Kill those bastards.
