At the highest gable peak there are several years of open celled paper wasp nests. I would like to remove them, but didn't count to know if there is a new one yet.
Also, if one is inhabited, is there any difference from the wasp's point of view between knocking it down, and using poison?
If I don't see activity, can I knock down a new nest safely?
Thanks1
