Second Dave's method. I was called to remove a bald faced hornet nest
right by the families front door. It was in a shrub and impossible to
get out. So I used the soapy water technique and was able to remove the
majority of them before I cut away the nest.
As most on this list know, the same method works on yellow jackets (and
bees).
I have many wasp and hornet nests around my yard and welcome them. Keep
the other pests that bother my vegetable garden in check. I have yet to
be stung by any of them but have been by both my bees and yellow jackets.
