All we do now, is keep the spray handy and spray the heck out of them. For us the worst part, is hubby is very alergic to wasps.

Toward twilight if you know where the next is.
Watch to try and make sure all of the wasps are in the next for the evening.
Get yourself a can of starting fluid that sprays a good distance and fill that next with starting fluid.
That will kill every one of the wasps inside the next.

Just don't stand too close because they will come flying out but they won't get too far.
The starting fluid covers their bodies and takes all of their oxygen and kills them.

Got my first Bald-Faced hornet queen in one of my traps yesterday. Last year there were nest everywhere in the trees surrounding my yard. I am also seeing Paper wasps sniffing the traps, but no takers as yet.

just saw a picture on FB but can't find it now. shows a brown peper lunch bag filled with plastic grocery bags- or anything really and hung up on the porch. Says it resembles hornets nest and will scare others away. worth a try.
