Default (OT)? Wasps Nest Advice Please.

HI haven't posted here for many months because I'm only growing
strawberries this year, but this is a kind of gardening related
matter...

I have two nest boxes fitted with cameras, neither attracted nesting
birds, but one has been taken over by wasps. I wasn't too concerned
at first, because I thought the nest would be confined to the size of
the box, and they are interesting to watch, and of course are "good for
the garden".

However, it is now expanding outside the box, and the activity is
intense.

My compassion for wild creatures is being tested, and I am considering
contacting the local authority for it's removal.

Any comments?

Your local authority probably won't be interested as it is not inside
your house.
