Goodness me! That looks big and nasty - just as well you saw it before Tammy did! Great photos though, so I suppose it had it's uses!
Hope all is well.

Yep, I've dealt with a couple of these. I wonder how it got to your lawn? Not a natural place to build, the wind may have dislodged it from somewhere higher up. They're ugly things but fascinating.

Excellent set of images, nasty things at the best of times.

Yes, I reckon the wind knocked this down. Wasps have their place in nature too, but if they are aggressive, I see this as a necessary solution. My husband is extremely allergic to wasp stings, so we regularly check and exterminate nests. Interesting to see the opened up nest.
Looks like that foam is very effective Brian, don't know if it's available over here but will have a look, what I've been using is an aerosol spray that you have to squirt into the entrance for it to work, not always the easiest thing to do 
BTW this is the first year I haven't had any........at least, not that I know of 
Last year there was one in the barbecue when I opened the lid, the hose reel ditto, and in the hedge, it was hard to get at but I got the blighters, the year before they got me when I was trimming the hedge and hadn't noticed the nest!

Being a Gloucester Rugby supporter I'm not a big fan of Wasps.
