Aside from that, burning a wasp nest is also problematic since it’s not an efficient means of controlling the problem of wasp infestation since it does not entirely kill the wasps. Rather, it will only make the remaining wasps within the nest to be even more violent and also those wasps who are out looking for food, which leads them to attack you or any bystanders they see.
