    I can appreciate that approach. But the biggest problems I have are when they nest in the railing of my little wooden deck. Every year it’s the same fight. So I’m a little leery of using fire.

      If it’s just passing the fire over the nest it shouldn’t catch the wood on fire, but it could damage the paint. You don’t need the heat under the nest for long though, just long enough to burn the wings of the adult wasps
