5. If you want to be further cautious, wear high shoes, gloves, a hat, and heavy clothes that can be tied about the wrists and ankles. A face veil will give extra protection. If you are using a flashlight, hold it to one side at arms length so if the wasps fly toward the light, they will be drawn away from the body.
6. Never risk being stung by a wasp in attempt to spray their nest, if you are allergic to wasp venom.
7. If you choose not to use regular insecticide, you can pour gasoline down the entrance hole of an underground colony. The fumes kill the adults, but not the pupae, so some adults will appear afterward if the nest is not dug up and destroyed.
8. To destroy aerial nests, you can burn them by attaching a torch to a pole and holding the fire to the bottom of the nest. You must proceed with great caution if the nest happened to be on an evergreen tree or a house.
