 Really? That sounds like a great way to do it.

They dont come out cause of the night or because its colder?

The nylon idea is brilliant..

Only issue I could see is if you cant get at the nest.

  Thanks!

I think Russ and his brother should have their own reality show/comedy routine.

 Do you often do this?

 no not often ...but yes i have done it a couple of times... if you can not reach the nest strong soapy water will kill them... mind you are better to call in a professional for those large jobs... at night it is cooler so they are in the nest keeping it warm... sort of like when you and i sleep... i have been stung far to many times over the years by wasps... and twice by bees first bee sting nearly killed me.. it left me comatose in a ships bunk for a few days... if i had been stung closer to the heart than the ankle it may have killed me .... the ships doctor thought it was the flu... and the nurse was air lifted to a hospital due to her throat swelling shut... considering i was unconscious i was unable to tell them what happened to me... last thing i remember was requesting to be relieved from the helm...
 
  I'm rambling here... so i am saying good night...

talk to a few others they will tell you the stockings and coat hanger trick is great for  removing small to medium nests... i learned the hard way...
