What's the best way to get rid of a wasp nest?

Very carefully. (Budda-bing).

After dark they will be calm. Hit them with a hornet/wasp spray which
has strong focused stream. Keep a flashlight on it so you can know if
they come streaming out after you. Run!

If you get stung, be alert for breathing difficulties and head for a
hospital immediately if the problems start.

I use a 1/2 EMT conduit with an 8' stick taped to it,
but that's because the nests are 15' from the nearest window.

Unless it's _really_ large or very inacessible, I just take a stick or
whatever it takes to reach it and knock 'em off. Yellow jackets aren't
particularly aggressive. If a lot of activity, a shot of a wasp killer
will discourage them from hanging around too closely. Only ones I
really worry about much are actual hornet nests (the round, papery
looking nests, not the celled bee-like ones) -- them suckers are _BAD_!
:).
