Wasp nest in shed

I had a nest and I just used a trap to catch all the wasps.  I caught loads and eventually there were no more to catch.  I used a squash bottle with the top cut off and inverted back into the bottle.  I filled with honeyed water and it lures them in and they cant escape.

3 years ago I had a wasps nest at the top of the garden, right above 3 tomato plants, I had to do all the usual jobs like watering, sucker removal and harvesting the crop and was not stung once, I also had the pleasure of watching them harvest some cabbage white caterpillars on my kohl rabi, they were like miniature helicopter gun ships going through all the layers of leaves to select their pray, great for the garden, Dave

I had one in my shed a few years ago just inside the door, stuck to underside of the roof. It was about the size of a golf ball. I got a piece of 2x2 wood and flattened it, then ran just in case. I went back shortly after and saw no wasps around so I went and did some gardening. Half an hour later I had forgotten all about it and went into my shed. A large very noisy wasp followed me in and flew around sounding very angry. It must have been looking for its nest and gave me such a fright.

  Yeh, the queen was pretty cross when I had to deal with ours ....  But then, she had invested a lot of effort in it to get it so far and was going to have to start again she knew not where, reducing her chances of getting a successful colony away. I cant blame her for making her feelings known!  I just didn't want to be around to hear, and I guess you didnt either!  Call me a coward if you like, but cross matriarchs are scary, whatever the species!!   

Hence the need for a safe shed ! 

There's a golf ball sized wasp nest on my shed roof on the inside. I'd leave it but it would be difficult to work round.  So I was thinking of going up early, putting a jar over it, using a saw to slide under where it joins to the roof and then holding saw over top while disposing of it somewhere... 

Mad idea or will it work?

It works. I did this last year (no need to saw it off it just broke away) and laid it on the ground at the end of the track  that runs past out plot. I have  a small "fake" nest shaped thing in the shed now to deter any further nest building attempts, which appears to have worked. Good luck!
