One way to get rid of wasps.
Fake nests don't work well here... Wasps will cut old nests down to make new ones here.
Last summer I saw my first bald faced hornet, never have I seen them around here before, the first sign of a nest being formed on my property and I am burning the house down, that is the only real solution!
I carry a can of Wasp Freeze in the truck. Every single old 7000 system I have taken down for upgrades has a hive inside the cover that was over the radio.. Glad I don't run into those to often.

Had a wasps nest in mine, too. It was the perfect place. I was trimming the weeds around the pole and bumped into that cover, and they came out pretty quick. Thankfully, they were just paper wasps rather than something worse and/or more aggressive, but it was still unnerving.
Every year I'd kill them and they'd be back the next. When I saw that the new dish setup had an open radio I was much happier, though I have found a nest on the backside of the dish. There are still some protected nooks and crannies in the gear that are perfect for smaller nests. :(

Bit the bullet and bought a coleman pop up screen tent so I can at least get some fresh air every now and then, now to put it together...
