Default Recommendation to get rid of small yellowjacket nest

Hello,

I have a yellowjacket next forming under one of the eves on my house.
It's still small, so I'm looking for some recommendations to get rid of
it. I put up a bee killer thing (those yellow cylindrical things), and
it's caught/killed a couple, but the nest is still guarded by more bees
than I feel comfortable taking on myself. I *could* knock it down with
a stick, but then I'd be chased by angry yellowjackets. Is there some
liquid I can spray on them that'll kill them (like vinegar or
something)? Thanks!


Hit the nest with wasp/hornet spray, stuff in a can that sprays up to 25
feet or so. Will kill everything in nest and you can knock it down
later. Probably best to do in the evening when most of the yellow
jackets have returned to the nest.
