How to get rid of a paper wasp nest?

Paper wasps usually build their nests under eaves and ledges of a house. Though paper wasps are not so much aggressive like hornets or yellowjackets, their nests should be removed carefully as they will attack you if they themselves or their nests are threatened and their stings are painful and may cause serious anaphylactic reaction.

To destroy a paper wasp nest, you should first buy a wasp and hornet spray sold at most grocery and hardware stores.  Before starting the fight you should first cover every inch of yourselves with clothes. Make sure all the wasps of the colony are inside the nest. Be prepared for any unexpected attack from the opponents. When you are fully ready, just spray the chemicals on the nest.  Standing directly below a nest increases one's risk of being stung. So make sure you are not standing just below the nest. All paper wasp should be died instantly after getting contacted by the insecticide. However you should wait for some time and then check if there any insects left. When you are confirm that all the insects are died, just scrape or knock down the nest.
