I have these wasps

I have these wasps living in a streetlight in my yard. It’s pretty high, and they haven’t bothered anyone, but on principle I thought I should kill them. Mrs. Bumper brought me some long-distance wasp killing aerosol spray but I was a little short of being able to hit those things. My first try was to haul out the ladder and climb up to the nota step (I think “nota” is Spanish for “step”). Well, I was still not quite making it. So, in a fit of Worse is Better engineering I rigged up a wasp-spray “bang pole” using tape and the leg from a model rocket launch pad, climbed the ladder and gave those wasps a … light misting. In the end I think I made them all mildly lethargic.
