Thanks for all the advise folks.

Looks like I need a *really* long pole, a sprayer, some wasps, some hungry

Well, I just generally blast them with a hand nozzle for a while. Like
someone said, they don't really damage the tree or nuts that much, and
it's kind of rewarding to spend five or ten minutes washing them into
the yard.

OTOH, if that Buddhist (?) sect is correct about harming insects, I'm
going to hell for a bunch of worms and fireants . . .
