Yes - be very careful - wasps can sting multiple times and are quite aggressive when protecting their homes.
1. Attack after dark
2. Use a long range aerosol - they shoot up to 20' or so.
3. I had some on the corners of my house - so I parked the car as close to the house as I could - left the door open - shot the nest and dove into the car. They are fast on the wing!
4. Use the spray more than once - wasps caught away from home after dark may return the following day - and attack.
Also, survivors tend to rebuild in the same locations year after year - so soak the areas with the spray as a deterrent.
