Consider keeping the wasp nest. One year we had a HUGE paper wasp nest
just outside our front door. No one got stung, we slammed the door and
stacked firewood and no problems, but NO door-to-door salesmen came that
year ;)

We took a drive in August near our cabin in Utah. It's a backwoods road
that goes from Summit, Utah, to Brian Head, Utah. Dirt all the way. The
leaves had gone off the quakies. We sighted nearly a dozen wasps nests that
were at least as big as basketballs. Biggest ones I have ever seen.

I live in Florida. I spray the wasp nests that grow sometimes on my
soffits with a nozzle attached to my water hose. The wasps don't fly
well with wet wings. Spray hard on the nest to knock it lose. When it
hits the ground, stomp on it. Meanwhile, you'll have some delirious
wasps floating around not flying well. Drop the hose and take your
baseball bat and beat them to the ground then stomp on them. It is the
cheapest way to get rid of them. The other crap just pisses them off.
