Leave it they'll do your garden a lot of good by eating all manner of
nasty bugs.

Ah, oh well. Wait 'till it gets cool and activity drops off and apply a
liberal dose of wasp killer. Wait. Watch the next day or so for activity.
When none, carefully cut down nest and slice in half, gently they are
little more than brittle tissue paper. Wonder at the amazing construction,
maybe share with your local primary school. Mug up on the life cycle and
give a little chat about it and wasps. They really are not a serious
threat to humans(*), they certainly don't warrant the paroxysms of panic
some people go into at the merest sight of one.

(*) Apart from the very few people who have an allergic reaction to the
sting.

That was the first sensible bit of input to this thread.

Thanks all, I will attack it with Big D, Nippon and foam. If this still
doesn't work, I will use an angle grnder to cut it in half, then isopon it.

The angle grinder is a bit OTT, it is only paper. A large knife or an
axe should suffice. Though I would cut it down first, perhaps dropping
it into a plastic bag.
