Basically your shed is a hiding place from possible heat/sun. They'll be back and there will be more of them the next time.

Yea that is what I am afraid of. I have been searching all around for a solution. I already knocked down two min-hives. Don't know where I flung it to either.

Call this guy up:
Okay seriously, calling a real exterminator might be better.

Here's what you do
1. Buy yourself a flame thrower.
2. Find the wasp hive.
3. Kill it with fire.
4. ???
5. Profit.

You are supposed to spray the hive so that when they come back they take from it, eat the poison and die. Or wait until night time and torch the hive.

--An exterminator would be your best bet.
--They'll probably have something to keep em from comin back too.

My cousin in Florida has the same exact problem.
That fool got his behind stung up though
He stopped messing with them for a couple of days and went back at it... got stung again but not as bad as the first time.
Haven't talked to him since though so I don't know if or what happened with that situation.

^^^^^^^^^^^Like dude said you gotta knock the hive off the stem. I live in the deep south so I battle these cats every year during summer. Here is what you do....depending on how big the hive is just go get some of that long distance wasp spray....spray it on the hive and run like hell. Wait 45 minutes to an hour or so, come back and knock the actual hive down and crush it/trash it.
If you use the spray they won't come back to that spot but they'll pop up somewhere else. Just take a walk around the shed/house once a week or so and look for new hives (one or two wasps building) and repeat the procedure above.
P.S. - unless the hive is HUGE don't waste money on an exterminator, they are basically going to do the above and charge you an arm and a leg for it.

Jin,
Will spraying the wood in my shed prevent them from coming back? I don't understand why they won't come back because I sprayed the wood with a substance.
I won't call an exterminator.

try it out and see within a few hours or a day. i myself personally never tried that.
But your best bet is that stem. Scrape that $$%% off with a knife or sometin.

My shed is like this but it doesn't have windows. They are entering in the crack right above the door. Would some sort of caulking be cool to close up that area so they won't have a place to enter?

Man I am not walking out there with anything but my fists and a broom or some sort of spray. I heard they don't like cameras.

I was going to suggest one of those long range sprays after you close the hole up.

Most of the name brand wasp sprays keep killing a few days to a few months after you spray it on an area, that's why they won't come back.
I would just get a good 3-6 month insecticide and treat your entire shed with it (baseboard, cracks, crevices....). That'll cut down on them building nests any and everywhere but it is going to be a constant battle
