Default Wasp removal ideas?

My 1987 had been sitting about 2 months during prime wasp nest season. Now I have a bunch of the buggers coming and going from under the frame. Other than crawling underneath and risk getting stung, does anyone have a recommendation on how to deal with multiple nests?

lot of wasp spray. Go to the home depot and get one of those white suits for painting and a head mask and go to it, or borrow a propane roofing torch and burn them out, there should be not enough flame to catch anything on fire.

If they aren't getting into the cab you could just take it to an automatic car wash and get one that does the undercarriage.. That'll take care of them. Otherwise wasp spray. You might want to hang a wasp trap off the bumper for a day or two.

I deal with them all the time. If you can get at them pretty easy get a can of "Brake Kleen" and hose them down, use the little red straw. Granted it wont have the fire power that the wasp spray has as far as killing them at a distance. But brake kleen will knock them outta the air! Another thing is to wait till late evening or real early in the morning when it is the coolest, the colder the better. The brake kleen will be half the cost of a can of wasp spray...........XLTdoug

Just grab a garden hose and blast em. Come back after they settle down and soak it again, they will give up and find a dry spot (costs zip). Unless your allergic paper wasp stings are no big deal. Stinks if they get under your clothes though cause they will keep stinging till they get free. Oh and have someone video you so when they attack you can post it on youtube
