Don't worry about the nest, the wasps will die off in a couple of months
or
so and the nest won't be re-occupied. If you try to kill the wasps or dig
out the nest while it's still occupied you're asking for trouble.

The council pest control man told me all that after he'd killed the wasps
in a corner of our loft. I called him because I was painting the
eaves of the house and they were buzzing in and out of a gap in the
woodwork as I worked. I'm not scared of wasps but the top of a
ladder is no place to be when they are constantly passing your head.!


They're not interested in you though, unless you disturb the nest or touch
one.
