Burn the whole thing down. Start fresh. Wasps have won this round.

yes, maybe so, but do you also bow down before your new wasp overlords???

I for one would like to be the first to welcome our new Insect overlords!

Or build a concrete sarcophagus around it, Chernobyl style.

Thanks everyone. You're helping me overcome my fear here....

The stuff I have is a spray, but it's not the foaming type. I'll have a look for the foaming stuff specifically.

I have brake cleaner (the nasty, pungent type) and will keep that can handy as well.

Wed/Thurs are supposed to be cooler at night so I'll try then.

you might want to set up a video camera so we can see you running away screaming like a little girl

if you really want to get rid of Wasp`s get public bussing in there, and rent controlled housing.

Foaming spray at night when they're all there.

If it wasn't a wooden shed, aerosol carb cleaner with a lighter works great.

The foam stuff is great. I just did the deed a few minutes ago, no stings. Will check out my handiwork tomorrow morning. The shed now smells rank, like super-household cleaner with a hint of toxic.

Also, I set up a Raid trap not far away. Hopefully it will take care of the stray a-hole wasps who might be looking for new colonies.

Hope this is the end of it. Thanks for the advice.

keep checking every day for the next couple of weeks and nuke any new nests that start up, right away. i wouldn't declare complete victory yet. they may be back, and will undoubtedly try again next spring. . .
