It looks like if you want to use that stand this year...the wasps gotta go. I will try to get a picture of what I use for those pesty little problems.

I have a propane tank with backstraps and a 4 foot wand with a 3" bell on the end. The same thing that road crews usw for melting holes in asphalt to sink street signs.

Simply light the wand....aim at nest(30 feet is no problem)and give one very short burst of flame.

It will totally annialate the nest and its contents with very little or no damage to your stand.

It only takes a one second blast to do the job completely.

You can probably borrow or rent one of these propane torchs, but be very careful not to do this in real dry conditions!!
