Well 8 hours after I first sprayed the nest, the problem was solved. The activity finaly died down to where I could get within two feet and soak the nest. It was a little awkward trying to get to it. The nest was located up under the overhang on a W123 where the battery would be and semi-tilted backward toward the car. I managed to soak the nest much better this time and pick it off the car, set it in the driveway, then burn baby burn

So much more gratifying this way

I was wrong earlier, these were a type of wasps as I understand, although they had the black and yellow bands on their abdomen.

The reason why I hate bees so much, not only due to the amount of times I've been stung but, this past winter in my new house, wasps and some yellow jackets invaded my room over the course of a month or two- and my room is not very big. I finally figured out they had to have been coming in through the baseboard heater where the pipe comes through the wall. Then one day, they were gone, kinda strange. I figure I need to track the point of entry down for sure or they will be back again this winter. What irritated me was they were only in my room with the exception of finding one in the upstairs bathroom and two downstairs in the kitchen.
