I had yellow jackets build a nest in my mast this summer. Found them to be
nearly inactive early in the morning - I know because I watched for them
with my binoculars. I was able to blow the nest out and spray one morning
and didn't have a problem. Took 3 weeks before I quit seeing them hanging
around and dared to work up there. Haven't seen any since.

Subject: [TowerTalk] hornets nest
I'd like to do some tower work but found I have a hornet's nest on the
boom
support of my 40 meter antenna at 60'.
We have had a couple of cold mornings and I could try hitting it at dawn
with a spray but I really don't want to do it and risk being attacked. I
could also wait until we have a couple of good frosts and I could take it
down then.
Any thoughts other than waiting for late fall?
