Default 1987 volvo 240 DL-I need help

Okay, so I'm new to this site, but I have an issue with my car, and I need help fast! Okay, so basically my volvo wasn't working over the summer, and I couldn't afford to get it fixed recently. But while it was just sitting in my driveway I decided to thoroughly clean it out, and while I was cleaning the drivers side a giant wasps nest fell inside and landed underneath the steering wheel. In a panic, I slammed the door and ran inside. The next day I sprayed the nest with wasp killer, and I thought that took care of the problem. But since the weather has been getting better I've been seeing random wasps just hanging out in my car, and yesterday there was a huge group of them swarming around the outer vent (the one in between the windshield and the hood).
I know virtually nothing about cars, so I have no idea how the wasps could have gotten from inside the car to those vents, but I'm scared to drive my car, so I was wondering if anyone had any idea how I could get into those vents or underneath the steering wheel so I can find the hive?
Thank you!

You might want to try a bomb thingy kill poison thingy. Contacting someone who knows about pest control may be the best solution. You can gas it and then let it air out. I can't imagine taking the car apart and to find wasps being fun. This is a tricky problem. The ventilation system is like the last part to come out of the dash if you tear it down.
