Just been in the garage and heard a rasping noise, looked up to the roof

It is about 1" diameter at the moment and although I have nothing
against wasps it will be a bit disturbing having a nest above your head
whilst working.
It would be fascinating to see it being built but I need to knock it on
the head before it gets to big, which would be the best way?
I could knock it down or use a weed flame-thrower on it or glue a
plastic pot over it but would it just move somewhere else in the garage
or give up and go elsewhere.



I've heard it said that if you tie up a paper bag (somewhat crumpled) in
the area they like to nest they will think it is another, bigger nest -
and go elsewhere.

Can't hurt, would be cheap...
