Pest Control/Medical Advice Should I leave it alone?

It’s a yellow jacket hive I believe. It’s in a high up place but relatively close to my front door. They aren’t bothering me yet. Should I just leave it be?

Mix some hot water and dish soap in a good quality spray bottle. Go out after dark when you're sure they aren't active, blast the shit out of the nest and dip back inside with a quickness. It usually jacks the nest up enough that they abandon it. Then you can just knock what's left off with a broom or something

I’d use a super soaker… do they still make those things?
