Wasps nest in roof

We have a wasps nest in part of the roof or just under the eaves we can't get to without scaffolding (going up the house) or safety railings on a sloping roof just below it. How to tackle this?

I always use a foam type wasp nest remover. You have to get within 2 metres of the nest to use it though.

To be honest, though I would leave it alone at this stage. It is nearly winter and all worker wasps die off over winter. The queens will survive in a hibernation cell but then move from the nest in about april and build a new nest elsewhere. The old nest will never be used again.

Hopefully the new nest will be somewhere more convenient!

We have one too, and like mm says are waitng for them to die off in the cold weather.
