Wasps

We have a very large wasps' nest inside the eaves of our roof - football size. (My question is at the end of this message.) I've repeatedly sprayed it with the excellent Rentokil "Wasp Nest Destroyer", but inside the roof space I can can only see (and therefore spray) the inside half of it -- the rest is buried right into the eaves. I cannot get nearer to it than about 3 metres (and in any case I don't want to!). I put up the ladders to the gutter, and tried to spray between the gaps in the tiles, where the buggers are getting in, but the spray clearly doesn't reach: they must have a walkway up to the nest,and the poisonous foam must be dissipating before hitting any part of the nest. After a week of trying repeatedly (three cans of Destroyer used!), I've had to call quits. My question: will winter kill this nest and all its inhabitants, or am I going to have to call an expert? Cheers John

Mice are known occasionally to co-exist with bees in beehives, and I doubt whether wasps would take any notice of mice in an attic.

May? possibly?
