You can get wasp spray that reaches 25 feet. Works well on humans too, if you get 'em in the eyes.
Give them your house to help them integrate into our society.
Stinging is part of their culture so you need to tolerate it with a smile
Just take a long stick to the nest. The bees will think that the stick attacked them and swarm it, but will leave you alone.
hard to say i know in bee colonies near winter the queens will start to degrade so their control on other females keeping them sterile and passive is reduced, the young queens then end up killing the old queen and setting up their own hive. hard to say in this case since bees arent wasps
Had a nest in a bush outside my house last year. Paid pest control $50, they took about 10 minutes to remove it. Money well spend, it was close to me and the neighbours house and couldn't open the windows
Next time soak the nest at night with a $5 bottle of ant killer spray. They won't attack at night. I find the bee spray to be a lighter chemical, probably because it's meant to spray into the air and so they tone it down so they don't kill idiots that spray into the wind. Ant spray is designed to be used on the ground and seems to be a much stronger concoction. I've tested it out with wasps nests in the dirt. Hornet spray slows them down but they can still sometimes fly, but a little ant spray and they are dead in seconds.

That was a satisfying video, bit too scary for me to try that one though, but so glorious to watch those bastards pop.
Another one in slow-motion
If they are yellow jackets....kill them with no mercy.
I agree. I was pulling some stuff through the woods at work this summer and ran over a nest and got stung about 20 times. Ran as fast as I could back to the work truck. I hop in and these pieces of shit were still clinging to me stinging me and they also swarmed the truck. I always have bee spray at work now. Scray thing was I didn't know if I was allergic or not and I was out in the middle of nowhere.
I was running a brush hog on an old 8n tractor so I'm constantly looking behind me adjusting the elevation of the deck when I feel something lightly bump my head. Suddenly I am getting hit over and over so bad I jumped off the tractor and ran. It was a HUGE paper wasp hive.
I'm fuming all evening about my 20-30 bites or stings. After enough beers and nightfall I went back with a five gallon bucket, lid and linemans pliers. Cut the whole nest off the branch and quickly secured the lid after it fell in the bucket.
I shook the bucket constantly listening to the little cunts attack for almost 3 days. Once they were finally dead I hung their enormous nest in my shop as a trophy.
Oh, are their jackets yellow? I hadn't noticed. I don't see race...
Take a paper bag and fill it full with plastic bags. Tie it closed so it looks like you blew it full of air. Attach it to the eave. It looks like a hornet nest. Both parties will leave, immediately. No need to kill them. Send them to another neighbor without remorse.
I like your style.
Orange juice for yellow jackets. I had problems outside a loading dock once. Put a pie pan of oj out. Couple hours later the pan was filled with dead bees. If wasp with the dangle legs, leave them alone and they won't fuck with you.
