You might have to wait until it gets colder at night. Get up there just before dark as someone suggested. Spray it and get down the ladder quickly but safely. Wear a hat, jeans and a sweatshirt or jacket to protect yourself from stings. Make sure you have another person nearby in case you need someone to hold the ladder.
