Dianavan---there are no wasps available for destruction over the winter. If you can reach either the empty nest, or the spot to which it was anchored, smear some grease there so that the anchorage is erased. The best way to deal with the wasp colony is by the destruction of the nest when all the wasps have gathered in it at dusk. Be cautious when you try this. If it is easily accessible, an aerosol of "Raid" or some other proven wasp-killer squirted directly into the nest entrance will get them all. Make certain that you have a handy escape route BEFORE you start; sometimes an odd wasp escapes--and they don't like what you are doing!
Do bear in mind, though, that wasps can be, on balance, beneficial. Unless you or yours are in danger, or have been stung, let them get on with their lives.
