No wasps have been seen since she noticed the nest (she wasn't living
there during the summer) but what's the chances that there are still
some live ones in there that are liable to give me a nasty stinging if I
get up a ladder to get the bloody thing down?

1) spray some expanding foam in the hole.

Not necessary, there won't be any wasps left in the nest. If you try to
spray expanding foam into the opening the whole thing will collapse.


3) use knife to cut nest from window.

There's no need to cut it down even, unless you want to. Wasps won't use it
again.

If you do cut it down do it carefully, the outside envelope is vey fragile.
When it's down cut it in half, carefully, with a bread knife and show the
children the marvellous architecture of the construction.

4) burn the nasty little devils.

They're not nasty.

I thought better of you, David.
