Wait until it’s cooler and they’ll be less active. Toss a couple of insect foggers up there and you’re done.

Put some speakers in the attic and crank up the Hip Hop...

Seal off the inside of your house and run a pipe from your exhaust to inside home when you go to bed. Leave car running all night. It will kill them all, cut off car in morning

You need to add some Bats to your Belfry.

That'll get rid of your wasps.

The fire place is just a temporary respite from the wax myrtles.

Check if you have plants in your house. They might have a nest there.

This, but I'd also turn the power off at the main and go do something for 4 hours or more. Freezer and fridge will be OK. Then come home and turn the thermo blower on "on", open the windows and let it air out. Next, go into the attic and find the nests, they usually make a nest close to an opening, close the opening. If you have eave vents, use more foggers.

Dude, now you can justify the purchase of the drone with a flame thrower to your wife.

I'd locate them first to see what you're dealing with. Could be as simple a solution as a can of wasp & hornet spray, baw.

Get a can of bengal roach spray (gold). It works really well on wasps. It is a fog, so it doesn't require a direct hit. Just spray a decent amount up there. They will be very pissed off until they die.

Rezone the attic as section 8 apartments.

First, obtain a go-pro type camera that will mount on a helmet. Make sure you wear it and are recording when you go up in the attic and spray the nest. Leave a note to someone in your house telling them make sure and post the video on the OT!

Wait till night time and then go up with a flashlight and your spray cans. Wasp will not sting at night. I have done this many times.

Shut off your heater and try Raid Fumigator up there. It will smoke your entire attic and if there's anything up there, it'll kill it

She was a great woman. I mean, sure, she had a penis but she was a great grandmother.
