What's the best way to take out a small wasp nest that's about 21 feet up?
I don't have a stick that long to knock it down, and I'm high risk if stung.

Flamethrower.
Use the force young Jedi.
small ladder and some hornet spray, It sprays 20 ft. 7bucks at home depot. **in case you wanted a real answer.
Nice. I'll pick some up tomorrow. I just looked at weather and the coolest it's going to be is mid 50s early Sunday before day break. Gonna take my chances with it then

This shit can not be environmentally friendly can it?
I sure hope not.
There are more eco friendly ways to deal with this.
Don't spray that shit.
Such as?
This will do nothing about the wasp nest unless I throw these vials at it with accuracy.
I think it will, or something like it.
It'll make their nest inhospitable.
Why not just get a long pole and remove it?
Spraying chemicals is peak Fiat.
I'd like to reduce the chance of my own death as much as possible.
General observation - it pays to have ppl in your community who understand insect life and can remedy problems with minimal consequences to all.

Not viable. The nest is on my house above a window.
Figured was being cheeky
I’ve had wasp and hornets nests that made me afraid to use my front door. It’s no kind of life so I get why you want it handled.
Exterminators are pretty good at these things - I’ve had exterminators even with their gloves and suits get stung to shit by hornets nests I’ve had them remove. This is not a DIY job unless you are experienced.
I definitely don't want to get stung so I may end up outsourcing if it's affordable.
Right now not even sure it's an active nest. It's still rather small (smaller than a baseball). I don't know how fast these things can grow so I'll be making a decision based on that.
I don't want to spray it just yet as there are people working on building stuff at neighbors and it wouldnt be fair to them to stir up a hornets nest while they are on site
This doesn't answer your question but I saw a Raven pick a small wasp nest off an eve yesterday and proceed to eat the larva. It was savage.
