Umbrella wasp or paper wasp build their nest from plant cellulose by chewing on it to make paper mache like materials. Wasp are consider beneficial insect but may pose considerable risk when they build their nest to close to sensitive areas such as playgrounds or high pedestrian traffic areas.

This Instructable is only one method of removing unwanted nest by using a least environmentally impactful method.

Squeeze bottle, spray bottle or a bucket.

Detergent water or insecticidal soap.

Step 2: Soap Up Webber

Using the soapy water saturate the head of your de-webbing tool.

Step 3: Foam

Saturate the de-webbing tool until it creates a thick foam and coats the entire head of the webbing tool.

Step 4: Make Contact.

Press and hold saturated de-webbing tool onto hanging umbrella nest. Hold for 45sec to a minute.
