Get rid of wasps who are taking up residence in our wall
We need help in getting rid of wasps who are taking up residence behind our retaining wall. The wall is over 20' long and they are entering many different locations. We tried wasp spray but it doesn't seem to slow them down. There is a much longer tiered wall on the opposite side of the driveway that they don't seem to bother. We suppose they like the heat of the afternoon sun. We'll appreciate any suggestions.

Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
Many seemingly helpful answers, but something I didn't see here is what happens when you "disturb" them too much (not counting potential stings) - they are smart, and they WILL find alternate ways out of the nest area if they can, including into your house's living areas if they're in one of the walls. It's happened to me and others I know. That's the thing that concerns me in my situation.
I have a nest under the fascia board near my front door. Tried hooking up a shop vac filled with soapy water and sucked up half a tub full. Ran the vac off and on for about a week. However the nest was still active and I began to find hornets in the house. Ordered Tempo Dust online and bought a bought a dusting device. Dusted under the fascia board last evening. No more activity at the nest site but lots of dead hornets in the house. They drop and die as soon as they come in contact with the dust. Vacuumed them up this am. Will dust again if I notice any more activity. I was told this is how the Pros do it. Seems to work better than the shop vac method. We shall see.
