Smile Re: Wasps, helpful, a nuisance and a danger...

Reading all these stories, I feel lucky with the wasps we have here. I have no idea,
what species it is, but they nest in small colonies under eves, in garden sheds or
anywhere they can find with a bit of shelter overhead and against a wall. The nests
are anywhere from little globes 1 1/2 inch in diameter to oblong 3 to 4 inches in
length.

Have any of you tried spraying the nests with Raid after sunset, when the are home
and inactive? It works like a charm with ours.
