I really don't want to use a spray if I don't have to since wood is porous and it maight retain the chemicals

Okay, then get yourself a flute and lead them out of town like the Pied Piper.

The nest sounds like the ones that I call mud daubers, but the insect does not. These are more of a reddish color and will definitely sting you if you get too close.

If you're talking about the ones I think you are, the red wasps are paper wasps.
They're more agressive than mud daubers, partially because they're a communal insect. They form small colonies with a queen, sterile female workers, and mating insects. The workers have nothing to lose. They exist to service and protect the queen and her babies.

Stingray:
Paper wasps? Meaning that they make the paper looking wasps nests? If so, those aren't the ones I'm talking about either, though we do have those. They're commonly just called red wasps and they are super agressive and the sting is a lot more painful (I know I set you up there Chad). The ones I was talking about make a mud nest kind of like the nests pictured in this thread, but it's more of a dome shape. They're reddish colored, but they aren't as red as "red wasps".

Stingray could be talking about hornets.
