I went to war this last weekend, hundreds of casualties.

Rode around camp checking stands and came across this. One full bottle of wasp spray later and I escaped without a single sting. Some did fly into me but bounced off and kept on going.
I decided to release wrath on wasps this year after I got stung in my shoulder blade the previous week. Wasn’t even doing anything but sitting in a chair and one of those nasty almost yellowish red wasp lit me up.

That’s a nightmare in the dark, glad you made it out ok.

The key is to be diligent in early spring. If you can stop them from nesting around your house, you won't see as many all summer. If you let a nest take hold, you have yourself a wasp problem.

Kill ‘em all! I’ve been stung hundreds of times as a kid but the last couple years when I get stung I’m damn near on the verge of going to the hospital every time

I would never ever get in a stand without a full check.

I do when I’m hunting, but I got stung at camp.

A bucket of water and dawn soap will do wonders on a nest that size. Rather than the narrow stream of wasp spray you can splash them with the whole bucket. I guarantee it will kill them all too.

It's more fun to burn them with a Propane Torch ..

Yeah I had a couple stands that I had to handle up on. One huge nest like that one. Red wasps tho that really don’t even hurt. One got me and I barely felt it. Glad we don’t have a ginny wasp problem. Those little souped up bastards hurt

The last few weeks wasps seem to be very agressive. My neighbor said it was the wasp just coming out of their cells for the first time, but idk. I just know I’ve been stung 2 times this week out of the blue and nowhere near a nest.

You see, that's why I went to a saddle

Works great out of a cup for the smaller nests too. The whole splash effect works so much better than the piss stream. Just don't miss.

Several years back I had some build a nest I could not see in the roof of my side by side. Cranked it up, started driving and they lit me up. I got pretty sick from a few stings on my head, My lymph nodes swole up like golf balls for a week. After that I started coating everything in Demon in early spring. I have very little issue with wasps now. You just mix it up in a pump sprayer and spray it wherever you don't want them. Eaves, trailer tongues, equipment etc... If you spray your stands in the spring they wont nest in them.

I fricking hate those red wasps. On the side of a small bridge right up the road from my house where I snake hunt at night, there is a huge nest - like 3-4x the size of the nest in that pic - and at night it is just a blanket of wasps. They don’t even leave the nest and bother me at night, but I so want to go drench those frickers with spray. The getaway is a steep uphill, so it’s probably a bad idea. 
ETA: Last year in the summer my house had literally dozens swarming around, though mostly up around the second story. This year in the spring I sprayed every wasp I saw, and there are very few around this summer.

The best stand on one of my old leases had a wasp nest that was the size of a football. Never seen anything like it. I was the guy that was supposed to clean out all the stands. Killed them dead with water and dishwashing liquid.
Went back the next weekend and lodged the nest at the top of the ladder on the outside of the stand so it was visible from the trail to the field. Had the field to myself for the entire season.

They made it easy for you.
We had an situation several years ago where they made a nice size nest under the office chair in one of the stands we hunted or "napped" in and a also nest in the ceiling of box stand. Needless to say, 1 nest (the one in the ceiling) was eradicated the other over looked (oh boy), 2 weeks prior to primitive weapon season, my responsiblty.
Lets just say my brother that wanted that stand opening morning wasn't happy with me back at camp.

I hate wasps, and a lot of our stands are designed fairly cheap with open windows. It makes going in to clear wasps this time of year fairly cautious. Areas of concern aren’t the ceiling corners, those are easy. Bottom of the chairs, or if the chairs are against the walls; they’ll build at that connection, and be hidden by the back of the chairs. The worst place in an open stud interior are behind those studs when you enter, so basically you have to climb up, enter, and then look behind the entry studs as you go in…. That’s not a good scenario. I like the foaming spray cause it sticks them to the nest the best IMO…

Whatever y’all do avoid spectracyde in the black can. The pro in the white van is money worth spending.

The stands that are built like that you have to approach differently. As in, popping off a fogger can and throwing it through the window.
