Jim, Sorry, but that's really bad advice. Smoke doesn't stun bees. It makes them think there is a fire and they begin to gorge themselves with honey in preparation for fleeing. While they are doing that, they mostly ignore you. Might work that way with wasps, but I don't know that for sure and I'm betting you don't either. Most wasps don't collect nectar to evaporate into honey, they eat meat in the form of other insects. Ya might just piss them off. Bob-O

That could be a humane way to distract them while you get the nest off the module so maybe they will go somewhere else.

She's pretty set on getting rid of them. I'll recommend hosing them down with water at night. I think she's going to want to go chemical, though. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with sprays damaging the backsheet or not.
