I used to get those exact tube-looking things inside the windows of the house when I lived in NC.  Best thing to do is spray them.  Also, it's best after spraying a nest of a wasp to leave it up.  New wasps won't move in for some reason, and it removes a place for them to build a fresh and lethal dive-bombing hangar.  What I usually did (and this won't work for your situation) is let them fly away, and just dribble some of that spray all over the outside of the tube and soak it real good.  Evidently that Raid spray has some pretty wicked residual effects, because every once in a while I'd see some dead/dying in between the windows.

You could probably spray some Raid in a glass and soak a cotton ball in it.  Get the bottom of the tube REALLY good.  Those things DO creep the hell out of you, but I never got stung by 'em.  Dunno if that's cuz I Hong Kong Fooey-ed 'em, or if they were afraid of how toxic I was.

With that kind of Wasp, I think I'd skip the spray and go with the "burn them" suggestion.

I took my kids to see the Wiggles live a couple years ago.  It was surreal.  Hundreds of moms and kids in the theater.  The moms were acting like they were rock stars.  At one point, they came out to the seats and were talking with the kids.  One mom behind me started crying and shaking like she was going to pass out.  Dude looked at her like she was psycho and walked away from us slowly.

You can put a pin kicker in there to aggravate the bees according to some gameplay event.  Then the bees swarm out, sting the crap out of whoever is playing, and return.

You should be able to break them right off the side of the cabinet.  It's just made of mud.

The best part is that the wasps aren't there very much.  They build the 'nest' (it's not really a nest) a little at a time.  They find spiders and sting them.  Then they carry them to the nest, and lay their eggs on them, and encase them in mud (which hardens to what you see).  The eggs hatch, and spend their time eating the spiders while they're still alive.

the wiggles made 49 million dollars last year. they ARE rock stars. and smart too. 'the cockroaches' bones alluded to was the band a couple of the guys were in before 'the wiggles'. the cockroaches had one minor hit. in an interview, they said that as the wiggles they have the advantage that the demographic they cater to is refreshed every year or so. now thats smart.

There is a difference between being rich and successful, and having women cry and shake when you come near.  The Wiggles should not be sex symbols.
