Shooting them is not the answer! They should be reported to your local town hall. I believe that the best way to destroy them is to burn them.

I have dealt with the low nests but the high ones I cannot get to. Last year he came and shot the high nests and the poison kills them, it works
The town hall does nothing but thanks any

Hi after living in a pine forest for many years with two dogs to protect, I found that even an air-rifle pellet (or 3) putting a hole through the nest seems to stop the descent. ( A Spanish local explained that a hole in the nest allows a parasite to enter & exterminate the colony).
Remember in August, many moths lay their nests & general insecticide sprayed around the pines will reduce the nesting process.
