Certainly no fun. A few years ago we had several invasions of paper wasps, setting up nests under the eaves of our shed and under fence rails. One nest was even behind the tail light of our old '85 Ford truck where they came swarming out while I was loading up stuff for a dump run.

In all cases, the ferocity was incredible. The biggest nest was about 7 inches across, good for about 50-75.

Now I always keep a couple of cans of wasp spray near where I'm working, plus one can in the console of the truck.

Get the kind that shoots 20 feet, the stuff knocks them down pretty quickly. It's best to hit them when it's getting toward nightfall the the air temps are lower, and most importantly, they are all back at the nest after a day's foraging.

If you kill a nest and knock it down during the day, the workers will come back later looking for home.
