...or get a ladder and poke at it with my finger?
Just noticed it today. Right over the back door.

Stand off and nuke the site from orbit. It's really the only way to be sure.

I would probably empty a spray can of Raid onto/into it and then whack it with a stick.

I'm kind of thinking of sneaking up on it with a ladder, spray foaming the entrance shut, then hosing it from the ground with wasp and hornet killer, then poking it with a stick into a bucket, then filling the bucket with water.
I say if something is worth killing, it's worth overkilling.

Could foam the entrance shut, then break it off and toss it in a fire. A big fire.

I'd get a can of wasp-and-hornet spray, the kind that will let you stand back about 20 feet, and still spray the little beggars, and hose the nest down until stuff quit coming out of it. Then, cut it down and dispose of it, preferably in a fire. (Although, wasp grubs make great perch and bluegill bait, if you aren't a fishing purist. A couple of cane poles and a wasp nest usually meant fish for dinner when I was a kid.)

Maybe perch just like the taste of wasp-and-hornet spray?

Nah, this was back in the days before the aerosol bug sprays. We used the old Black Flag hand-pumped dispensers, when we could afford to fill them. Otherwise, it was just lighting rags on a stick, and hoping the smoke disabled enough of them that you could tear down the nest without getting stung too badly.
