I don't just hate wasps - they terrify me. I have once destroyed a wasps' nest with powder, as it was right outside our front gate at home, and there was a real risk of getting stung. Each time I've been stung by a wasp, or bitten by a horsefly, I've got a bigger reaction, so I'm not keen to risk being stung again the time I destroyed the nest, I covered my self from head to foot in protective clothing and then did the awful deed. My heart rate was up, and I was grateful for a shower afterwards!
Now, if there's a nest in the garden, I avoid the area, as I know the wasps eventually die out and don't use the nest again. But if I had one in the house I'd get a pro in. and I would most certainly do that if on a boat - no hesitation.
