I used some Real-Kill wasp&hornet spray and found out the dueling part
the hard way... on the roof.

For spot killing singletons, brake-cleaner drops them instantly, and
leaves no toxic residue.

Normally you can just use a water hose and high pressure nozzle and
knock the nest off and they'll abandon it.

I recall a story from the 70s when hair spray-on nets were the rage.
This lady used the spray to immobilize all manner of insect pests as
once sprayed it held down their wings and slowed down their legs. I
never did get around to testing it.

My innovation was to use a badminton racquet to swat yellowjackets
from a nest under my front door concrete landing. I couldn't reach
the nest by any method. I could hardly miss with the racquet and the
strings cut up the YJs neatly midflight before they could send out any
alarm signals.

LOL! I got to watch two safety department guys use tennis rackets;
chasing pigeons and swatting them.
