repostus bttn repost med I have wasps living under the gutter guard. how do I remove them?

they are 14 feet up with no windows abve. The gutter guard has 2 ea1/2 inch wide slots where the rain goes in. the spout is 40 feet long and there are wasps flying everywhere on a hot day. My only thought was to use 6 in duct tape on the entire spout at night and then fog it.

So Simple.
Wasp Spray.
But, if they are out of reach. Get or use a normal(lawn) sprayer.
Put either bug spray(expensive) or Bleach (cheap) in the bug spray and spray the hell out of the nest.
The bug sprayer will allow you to spray further than normal bug/wasp sprays.
This will work..

Good Luck

    You said they are under the guard, so if it were me I'd go buy some wasp spray, you can get cans that shoot up to 25 feet. Stand off the the side and spray the nest.

    I'd do this in the morning, when it's cooler and soak the nest. Wait a while then respray any that have come back from foraging. Scrape the nest down, then in the evening go out for a final spray if needed for any late returning wasps.

    There are sprays that shoot 15 to 20 feet. You have to do it early or late in the day when the wasps are slow and I would spray each one of those slots on a dry morning or evening.
