Help, as a result of the hurricane a tree fell on the property behind my
house and apparently there was a big wasp nest in the tree. The tree fell
so the nest is still on the other property but nest is about 5 feet from my
property line. And boy are these wasps mad, thery're swarming all over that
back part of my yard. What should I do, give them a few days to calm down
and then spray or is there any chance they'll relocate elsewhere ??? I'd
call a professional but problem is nest is not on my property but its
causing a major problem in my back yard....Any help will be much appreciated


Odds are that at night the skunks will tear the nest apart and eat as
many larvae as they can get.
Here frost is just a few weeks away and that takes care of them.
For the most part wasps are benneficial, before you go pesticide crazy
give them a day or two to settle down, you might just be able to
tolerate them.
If you must, Wasp and hornet spray is really all you need, clear
things with the neighbor first, I think a can costs about 3-4$ now and
should be good for more than one nest. Read the label, follow the
directions.
