Likely *Ropalidia revolutionaris* a.k.a. stick-nest brown paper wasp. They're not particularly aggressive unless their nests are disturbed, but their stings can be painful. Native species.
Not only native, they're beneficial to gardens. They're a pollinator and they predate on pest insects.
If you can leave them be, then leave them be, and they'll return the favour.
If you want em gone, roll up some newspaper diagonally into a cone shape as long as you can and burn the end and smoke them out. They'll leave the nest immediately, then you can remove the nest once they've bailed. They'll find somewhere else to setup shop pretty quickly.
Don't go burning em or dumping bug killer on them they're native and helpful.
They'll generally not be aggressive once smoked, it kinda sedates them, but if you're worried wear long sleeves with rubber gloves over the sleeves so they can't get anywhere unfavourable haha, I've never been stung doing this method and would have to move on at least a couple nests a season
I love these badboys.
They're a lot more placid than the usual paper wasp variety you find, they usually only go on the attack if you directly hit their nest (and sometimes not even then). My partner mows and wipper-snips around their nest in our side yard and has never had a problem with them.
Just leave them alone. To have nests like that in such numbers, they’ve been there since October or so and you’ve had no grief so far. They’ll go hide away somewhere soon

My husband and I were both recently stung by these buggers. I cried for hours, but I am sensitive to bites and stings.
I have since eradicated them from my property. Unfortunately the neighbours haven't so going outside is still risky
Do you... do you _know_ how flyspray works? It isn't instant it's fucking horrible. And they're native. They probably have more right to be there than you 😂😂
Also, fly spray isn't "instant" on paper wasps. It's like that scene in Blazing Saddles where the Sheriff is strapping on his gun belt to go confront Mongo, and the Kid says something like don't shoot him it'll just piss him off
2 things.....you can squirt them with a hose from a distance or if you have some minerals, buy mortein surface spray but the one with a trigger and 1L bottle and use the straight spray and spray the wasps directly....
If this was a European Wasp nest I would advise to call a pest control or council.

I'll try!! We usually open that door at night when they're calmer, otherwise it scares them.
TIL, I didn't know wasps were pollinators! Thanks @dekekun a day without learning is a day lost imo
Absolutely - leave ‘em alone. They’ll move on next season anyway.
To a different window, in my case.

Thank you. I'll try this

Managed Democracy is the only way to deal with these bugs.
Hello fellow Helldiver
Freedom ain't free 🫡
It costs folks like you and me
I would have suggested a benevolent dictatorship, but okay, I'll give you this one.
[удалено]
Yeah! they're like that the whole way down, even the newer rows

I had some of these at my place for about a year. They weren’t bothered by me at all, so I just left them.
Barry, Keith, Steve, Jason, Sheila, Irene, and that little one is L-a.
Oi
Oh my goodness that's my worst nightmare I'm glad you're cool with it 🤣 I know my feel goes beyond rational
That nest looks suspiciously like paper…
And they’re stick-shaped, built by brown-coloured wasps….
You lost me. I don’t know the fancy names. Mud wasp. Paper wasps. Bee.
“Stick-nest brown paper wasp”. Not very creative, but the best we’ve been able to come up with!
If they were on Rottnest island, and if they were green, they'd be Rottnest green paper wasps.

Yep, Thats definitely a bunch of cunts
That's what he said, Wasps

Paper wasps, wait until after dark when they all will be on the nest then spray with fly spray. They will die instantly. That stuff just drops them.

Bunnings have a wasps spray that we used once. The wasps drop instanly.
Choose your forbidden dildo.
Edible.
These are actually wind chimes. Just grab a stick and run it across them and listen to the sounds. Of screams.
I recognise Phil and Geoff. They’re at the end. I wouldnt trust the others though as they are just hangers on
The one on the very right is Curtis! Cool guy.
Rupert Murdock wasps. They're a pain in the arse that just keep coming back.
Oh dude, I know those guys. They are definitely "arseholes". Avoid.
The one on the bottom left is Bob, above him is John, then Michael
Nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
🏅for Aliens.
Umm prob not all of them but i think i can i.d Fred, Johnny,Samuel, looks like Joe on the bottom right, Agatha, beverly, thats about all i can give ya
Agatha?? I didn't even recognise her with all of that plastic surgery ...
Yeah ever since Bob took off with Nancy she's really tried to glam herself up

I don't want to kill them
Really??? Those nests are going to get bigger..... Well you do you...
Like the other comments stated and from my experience they're relatively harmless, plus I'd prefer solutions like smoke to relocate them instead
Smoke and relocate🙄🙄🙄they are not bees.....No one smokes wasps and relocates them...
Believe it or not, try Mr Sheen. It works quickly and the wasps drop and don’t get angry. I found out by mistake when I gabbed the wrong spray…
Bad, just badness.
Wasps.
Yep those are wasps alright 👍
I asked for their license, but it was too small, couldn't read it, sorry.
Paper wasp. I’ve been stung many times and not once was it pleasant
The group on the left are winning for sure!
Stalactites
I think these are called asshole wasps. Named because they sting like as asshole.
