We used a shop vac to remove the denizens of a nest of burrowing wasps. We plugged the end of the hose afterwards and I left the shop vac in a shed for a couple of weeks, then decided to open it up and get some dead wasps for my grand daughter to take to school for their science class.

All we found was one dead wasp and lots of parts...Apparently they ate each other.

I trapped a nest of wasps in a bird feeder a few years back in a particularly hot and dry summer. They lived for about two weeks, feeding first on their larva and then each other. It was interesting to observe
