Imagine my surprise yesterday when I spotted a bald faced hornet's nest on a tree spade that my dad bought several years ago.
My paranoia of stinging insects went into overdrive and I immediately went back to my laptop to do some research of how to properly remove a nest without suffering too many stings. My fear for my cats or someone of being stung got me very worried until I got calmed down after awhile.
I learned it takes two cans of wasp and hornet's spray to take out one nest of these little stinging demons! Another idea that I always thought of to deal with wasp nest is to BURN them with gas or diesel fuel.
I thought of getting a propane tank torch kit to BURN every one of those little buggers.

A tree spade is a tool usually hooked to the front of a very large tractor with hydraulic power to remove small trees, stump, roots, and all. Helluva tool, really.
To the OP, whatever method you try to use, make sure you do it in the early morning or after dusk - this is when wasps return to their nest. you want to be sure to kill the bugs, or they'll just make another nest somewhere else. Have someone helping you, and tackle the nest from both the top and bottom. Store-bought spray is going to work better than gas of diesel - smoking them out will more likely just piss 'em off.

Thanks for understanding my fears, I was once covered head to toe in ground bees (species of bees that makes their nest underground) after my dad was driving a tractor to make a new path in the woods and drove over their nest and they took their anger out on me! *shudders* I've been afraid of stinging insects ever since.
