Getting rid of wasps?

Probably a very common problem, but the problem is, I am terrified of them. It started out with a few, but now, every time I go out, they seem to be everywhere (at least I think so!) How do I get rid of them - I think I know where the nest is (a very awkward place to get at). I picked up some Raid Wasp %26amp; Hornet Killer today, but I've been told to be soooo careful, that they will swarm and not to spray until night when they are in their nest with the queen. Am I safe doing this????? They are the biggest wasps I have ever seen (long, with dangly legs) and even seem to go after the dog, trying to burrow into her fur. Someone even told me to use vinegar, although I don't know how I would do that - Maybe an exterminator is my only option - What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated before I send my husband out there to face what could be an ugly encounter????? Thanks so much for any help before the ugly little creatures spoil my summer.

Getting rid of wasps?
Nest removal or getting rid of wasps, particularly social wasps, is a fairly simple process. Finding the nest usually entails a quick survey for heavy wasp traffic during dusk or dawn, when wasps tend to return to the nest. Once the sun is down for the evening and you’ve noticed less traffic near the nest, dress yourself with multiple layers of clothing, and find a pair of gloves, just in case. Then, go out to the nest and spray the entrance with any wasp killing agent, like Raid for example. Spray liberally, but avoid inhaling too much of the poison. Most wasp poisons kill on contact, but it’s best to be safe by slowly leaving the area, sudden movements can attract attention.





Which wasp killer you use depends on where the nest is.





For nests that are located underground, you will want to use a wasp killer that is not labeled as a projectile spray. You want very little spray for yellow jacket nests that are found underground.





For nests that are elevated, you will want to find a can of wasp %26amp; hornet killer that is labeled as a projectile spray. This will ensure a stream of wasp poison roughly 15-20 feet in length. Plenty of distance to make a quick escape if necessary.





Repeating this process twice or even three times may be necessary until you’re certain the nest has been vacated. Once you see that there is no traffic, it’s probably safe to knock down the nest if it’s an aerial nest, or fill the nest with dirt and gravel if it’s in the ground. This should be the end of your wasp problem until the next migration cycle.
