Wear long sleeves and pants, just in case. Tuck your pants into some boots, your sleeves in some gloves, and put on goggles. Better safe than sorry!
Sneak up at dusk when most of the wasps are inside the nest. Spray an aerosolized insecticide on hanging nests, or apply a dust-based insecticide on underground nests. If you need a flashlight, it’s recommended to use one with a red filter to avoid attracting the wasps.

Remove the nest. Wrap a trash bag around it, tie it off and discard of it in a well-sealed outdoor bin.
Did you know? If you find a wasp nest, check whether it’s active before you start panicking. Most nuisance wasps don’t reuse their nests, so if it’s a leftover from last year, you’re most likely in the clear.
