Ground wasp nests

Hi,
I have discovered a ground wasp(?) nest near my house. So I went to HD
and got a spray can, but when I read the instructions it seemed to deal
with nests in trees. The instructions say to "saturate the nest" but I
only have a small opening.
What's the best strategy?
Thanks,
Aaron
The best solution is to leave them alone. If that won't work (they are
in a high-traffic area) use an insecticide dust. Something not *too*
fast acting (sevin is good, so is methoxychlor.) Wait until dusk and
throw a nice-sized pinch down the hole. They will get it on their feet
and contaminate the whole hive in just a day or two.
