Funny but I hope you’re just waiting until after sundown to spray the nest or absolutely no one else in your household takes out the trash. Because that is just pushing your problem down the road, as the saying may go. 😉

As in an actual storm? I would see that as the perfect time to assault the nest! Is the nest on the lid? Or inside the can? In any case, if you get a huge downpour, I would go flip open the lid like that spraying the nest will be easier.

I can't imagine the nest is really that big, how big can it be after 7 days?

Attack after dark with a pump sprayer filled only 60-70% of soap and water so when you pump up before the attack it will last longer than if filled and attack.... they won't stand a chance.

I discovered bald faced hornets building a nest from the light beside my door the other day.

Was not a fun discovery. A shriek and lots of cursing occurred before a quick re-entry into my home with some coming in with me. That prompted a lot more words I havent said outloud much lately

Best $30 I ever spent was on a beesuit. You only use it a dozen times in your life maybe but you are a god amongst ants. Being on the team with opposable thumbs rocks.

The house commitee would not approve. Definitely a rational thought if I lived alone!

Could have called the city to deal with it since its their can you are using. Theres no way i would be going near it after getting stung once.

Lol same unfortunately I don't live alone and all ideas are not exclusively mine alone. I'll put up a good fight for everyone

Protip: If you don't have access to dedicated wasp killer, gasoline splashed on the nest after sundown works just as well. do not light it on fire. Gasoline is more then toxic enough by itself. May slightly melt your garbage can if you use too much.

So instead of addressing this problem that isn't going to just disappear, you prefer to expose others to danger too?
