How can I get rid of a wasps nest without being attacked?
You don’t say where the nest is. If it’s underground (a yellow jacket nest), wait until night and pour some volatile liquid like kerosene down the entrance, then stomp the entrance closed with your foot. If it’s a paper wasp nest, which is always above-ground, wait until night and knock it down with a broom or something. The next morning, there will be a few paper wasps hanging around, but they will eventually give up and disappear. Occasionally, yellow jackets build an above-ground nest in a protected situation. If that’s what you have, you’ll need to scoop up the nest at night and get rid of it. Questions like this are easier to answer when they provide more details.
