I was stung this weekend by a paper wasp. The only problem is I am not 100% sure where the nest is. I am pretty sure it is in a thick, 4 ft. cedar tree, but I cannot actually see the nest and am worried about getting too close to investigate. Any ideas on how find and then destroy this nest? I work in the yard alot and I have a dog that spends time there as well, so it is important that I get rid of this colony.
Thanks.

Get some raid bee spray - they have a very good stream that usually reaches up to 20 feet. Buy a couple cans and give a warning shot in the spot you think the nest is. If you see bees everywhere, stand back and keep spraying. Wait a bit and spray it again to be safe.

As far as a safe way to find the nest, good luck! As far a getting rid of the wasps, I have used a mixture of 3 parts water to 1 part of regular dish soap in a cup and throw it onto the nest. This will render the wasps flightless and deprive them of oxygen and eliminate then in a matter of a few seconds. I try and do this just before dark when all the wasps are on the nest and for the most part pretty calm so there is less chance of getting stung and better chance of getting rid of all the wasps.

Normally, they all return to the nest in the evening. Since the tree is thick and you don't want to "surprise" them, I would say to go out after dark with a flashlight. Most sprays will kill them and have up to a 20' range. Just slowly part the limbs so you don't create lots of movement.

Your going to have to spray it with wasp killer, I think do it sometime after 6pm and leave it over night, then go back to it tommarow, make sure the wasps are dead, before hitting the nest with a broom to knock it down.

you look under the thought god has no needs or needs. god created the angels as suitable servants to comprehend him and to have as a bar or objective for his next creations. human beings have been created with loose will, why you ask simply by fact if we've been made with out it then our worship of him is hollow and valueless so confident god knew that putting the tree of information there replaced into probable to our detriment yet in simple terms as quickly as we incredibly had a decision ought to the worship we provide him be organic and priceless. now the actual question you've gotten asked is why does god prefer worship. it incredibly is one the secret's of god i might wager. the bible in simple terms says god needs it. I think of in case you or I have been god then we would prefer that too. its the only factor of fee once you comprehend each little thing, created each little thing, and created time so which you're exterior its impact. the way i glance at it incredibly is god created loose will for effects. he already knows the answer to those however the certainty that results of determination ensue in any respect pleases god i might think of.
