Please leave the wasp nest alone. Unless it's right in the way of pedestrians. Wasps are good. They eat mosquitos and other pests. They pollinate the flowers. We need more. Learn to live with these neighbors. They won't hurt people if you don't fight them.

""Some wasps do visit flowers. As an insect group, on the whole, they are generally thought to be less efficient pollinators than their bee cousins. Wasps lack the body hairs that bees have to carry pollen and so are not as well equipped for carting pollen from flower to flower. There are, however, a few wasp species that do get the job done...Most notably the Fig Wasp , only insect that gets the job done for the Fig ( or no figs for you) ..I never heard of them eating mosquitoes, as one is nocturnal and the other is not ( but if you say so ) The Mud Wasp is a terror for spiders who do eat insects like flies ...
Wasps and Hornets are extremely aggressive and will not stop stinging a person or animal who gets too close to the nest
