Most homeowners at some time will have had a wasp nest in their property. The thought of having wasps buzz about where you live is pretty scary, especially for those people who maybe have an allergy to wasp stings. Basically, there are two main types of wasp - social and solitary. It's the social variety of wasp that builds nests and these are the type that most people want rid of. Solitary wasps on the other hand are not normally a problem because they don't build nests and they have no territory to defend therefore aren't generally aggressive towards humans.
If you think you have a nest somewhere in your home then you will need to find out the location of it. You can do so by looking out for wasps entering and leaving your home. They tend to do this at dusk and at dawn. Popular locations for wasp nests is in your attic, garage, shed and chimney. Once you have located the nest you can then set about killing these pests.
If you are looking to do this yourself then you need to wait until nightfall when the wasps aren't active. You can then use a spay killer to spray where the wasps are going in and out of your property. Make sure you use plenty of spray so that the wasps are killed and ensure the spray you buy actually does kill wasps. However if you use too much you run the risk of inhaling some of it. Wearing a mask and goggles is a good idea so that you don't breathe in any of this spray as it's pretty nasty stuff. Popular brands include Raid, Spectracide, EcoSMART and Bonide.
If the wasps are underground then you can pour some kerosene or diesel into the entrance of the nest and then cover it up with a wet towel. Please don't set light to the fuel. There is no need for that because the fumes on their own will kill the wasps. Alternatively you can use a quart of insecticide into the hole or you could use half a cup of insecticide dust.
Please note that you shouldn't expect all of the wasps to be killed off in one go. You might need to repeat the process a few times to be sure that the colony is totally dead. You should also note that wasps don't use the same nest twice. So if you come across and old nest you needn't worry about it. Just remove it and leave it at that.
There's also a product on the market called a WHY trap which is a wasp trap. The wasps are lured into the trap where they die naturally. The traps use 3 different attractants to lure 20 different wasps, hornets and yellow jackets. It would be useful to have these traps outside when you are eating and getting plagued by wasps.
If you really don't like the idea of doing any of these measures to get rid of wasps then you ought to locate a local wasp exterminator who is experienced in the task of killing wasps. They have the know-how to deal with a variety of different wasps located in a variety of different places. If you get one of these companies in you will have peace of mind that the work has been carried out correctly.

I was very disturbed since I could not literally serve the purpose of what friends are really for. My notion was to console her somehow and relieve her from the pain. At that moment, I no other idea cropped up in my mind than sending her sympathy flowers. I have always felt that they are the best message conveyors.
