Wasp nest! Any good solutions out there?

[Kneale Brownson]

I get those little starter nests in my tractor cab several times a summer.

I usually knock them down with one of those wasp spray bombs that'll reach
40-50 feet.   I leave the cab door open and spray and run.  Stink usually
goes away after half a day.

If it's only golfball sized, that means there aren't many of them there.
So it's not like you'll have a long string of angry bees chasing you.

Alternatively, you could knock it down after dark.  Use a flashlight, but
put it out as soon as you hit the nest.  Bees generally don't like to fly
in the dark.
