Wasps are extremely defensive of their nest, they are very protective because the queen lives in the centre of the nest and that is who makes new wasps and provides them with fellow workers. Without the queen the wasp nest is nothing but getting to the queen in the nest is not so easy. Tearing apart a wasp nest while wasps are flying around your head trying to kill you is a pretty bad idea. There are much better ways to kill off a wasp nest with pesticide and hornet freeze and with combinations of essential oils that can suffocate them.
If you suspect a wasp nest anywhere near or on your property, contact wasp nest removal Guelph for quick and safe removal.
They are not invincible but you have to come at them in the right way in order to kill them properly. However, if you want to hulk out on a wasp nest and find the queen to kill her, this does not magically kill off the other wasps, they can just make a new queen, but it will ruin their day quite a lot as they will no longer have a queen. This could be a very bad idea because the wasps on your property will be angry, attacking everyone and will start building a new nest to live in and this time the nest may even be inside your house. In all regards, ripping a nest open and trying to destroy it will not harm the wasps inside, maybe the babies but not the adults. And finding the queen is an essentially impossible task, she is tiny and locked in a chamber deep in the nest that you really will not be able to find. So call a professional to remove the nest properly. They can do it in the daytime and they can do it less than an hour if its easy to access. The technician will spray the nest full of insecticide, remove and destroy the nest and then do a pesticide spray around the area the nest was to kill any wasps that try to return to the nest.
Wasps are attracted to your property mostly because they can smell food, sweet things like fallen fruit is their favourite but they also love spilled drinks like wine and fallen ice cream They will also hunt insects but having access to your families leftovers and mess is the best thing they could hope for and gives them energy to multiply at a rapid rate. You can kill them with insecticide spray if they are ground wasps but nests are a whole different story.
