I, therefore, take it that you have allergic reactions  to the stings (beyond the unpleasantness of the actual sting).   When I get a situation such as a (paper) wasp nest inside of (let's  say) one of the foundation shrubs, I wait until twilight and use one of  those "long distance" spray cans.  Charlie's WD-40 idea seems  sound, though.
