As I replied to the posting re snakes a few minutes ago, I would advise you visit the local town hall in Albox.

You can get aerosol sprays specially for wasp nests, where you can direct the spray from up to four meters away.

I just give a nest a good spray with normal insect spray, then run, ten minutes later the nest is deserted and can be removed, I've done six this weekend at our house!

Good luck

I have done the same suggest early mornig if is cooler (ha in this heat wave 😅🥵) they are more somnolent. 

Spray, run,  remove nest and respray because a few may try to return and the rerspary will maks the scent of the old nest.

After spraying and killing the wasps, DO NOT remove the nest, as wasps will never re-enter or build another near to a dead nest!  As already said it is easy to kill after a few sessions of spraying.... spray with a long burst and retreat fast!   Done loads of the little buggers!
