I just discovered a wasp or hornets' in a large bush that sits right up against my patio/porch. There are a few insects going in and out of the nest. I don't see yellow any on the bugs, so I'm assuming they might be Bald-faced hornets (which, I understand can be very aggressive).??? What is the best way to eliminate the nest without costing me a lot of money for removal from a private company and without getting stung? Your assistance is much appreciated.

Greetings,
I will do my best to assist you. The two choices for removal are hiring an company to do so or removing the nest yourself. If you do not wish to pay for a company that limits your options. Eliminating the nest is one option. CLICK HERE for a fact sheet on the various social wasps, including hornets to learn more about them. If you use pesticides, remember to read, understand, and follow the label. Please use all possible safety precautions.
