Default Wasp nest between watercourse and public right of way. What to do?

The message
from "Nic O'Demus" contains these words:


This evening I found the wasp nest. About 5M to the E is a watercourse and
about 5M to the W is a public right of way. The wasp nest is on my land and
I would like to be rid of the wasps and their nest.


I don't think you would be liable if the public got stung, but if you
really believe a ground nest is a hazard to your own family, you could
direct a watering can or two of boiling water down the entrance hole at
night when the wasps are all inside. The pulp nest collapses, and larvae
and adults die as quickly as possible.
