Just to be on the safe side, locate the circuit breaker for your outside outlets. Then use a can of Raid or other spray pest killer to get rid of any wasps near the nest. Once you have killed any that are near the area remove the nest if it is on the outside. If it is on the inside, give another shot of the pest killer inside, and then plug the hole so nothing can get in or out. Let the fumes from the pest killer do their thing and check on it after an hour. Keep an eye on the area for a couple days and see if any return and kill them using the pest spray.

BE VERY CAREFUL! Because if you don't do it the right way the wasps can fly and chase you. Biting as well as sting you. And since the stinger on a wasp does not have a barb on it,Which honeybees have, Wasps can sting you many many times.And bite also.And keep in mind to do this at night, when it is good and dark. Cause if you do it to soon after sunset they will still be active in the nest, enough so that some will get out and chase you and attack. Raid does kill them. Make sure you have enough to do the job. When in doubt, buy an extra can. GOOD Luck.

Wear multiple layers of clothing and a pair of gloves. Spray the nest liberally (best at night) with Raid for wasps, kills on contact, slowly leave the area, sudden movements can attract attention.

spray them with wasp/hornet killer at night. diesel fuel in a spray bottle also works. so does a can of ether (automotive starting fluid) and a lighter. if you don't like to use those chemicals, you can use a Type A fire extinguisher.

Raid! (bug spray killer) It's also great for spiders too!
