Screw going in. I'd have just seen if someone had an A-10 and a couple napalm canisters I could borrow.

I few years ago a guy living next door came over and wanted me to come look at a wasp nest in his house. I went. It was in the back bedroom, he had a infant baby (less than a year old) laying on the bed, and this wasp nest was in the corner and ran from the floor all the way into the ceiling!  :O

And what does he ask me?....."ya think I should spray some gas on it"?  :huh

although very environmentally friendly, it takes too long and doesn't knock them down. look up pyrethrin, very effective and biodegradable.

Yea, but for this nest you try that and you'd better have some serious protection on, or you will die.  You gotta kill 'em quick.  Like immediately, or you would get swarmed.  .

Kill it with fire.
