If there is enough space so that you can get at the back of the array with a smooth edged wood or plastic spatula like tool and a large garbage bag you can remove the wasp hive manually. Must be done at first morning light when it's cool out. Get the whole thing captured in the trash bag before they know what's going on. Works very well as they are inactive until the sun comes up. I still wear gloves, longsleeves, turtle neck shirt and a bugnetting hat just to be careful. Then what to do with the bag of wasps? Make sure it is double bagged and secured with duct tape etc.

She's pretty set on getting rid of them. I'll recommend hosing them down with water at night. I think she's going to want to go chemical, though. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with sprays damaging the backsheet or not.
