Not sure if this will help, but here in the UK I kill wasp nests with ant
killer powder which contains 0.5% bendiocarb (the same formulation is sold
as wasp nest killer - but is more expensive!).  I have attached a 3' piece
of plastic tubing to the nozzle of the puffer pack, as this helps in awkward
places.

One good puff into the entrance is all that is needed, as the wasps carry
the powder into the nest and there is usually no more activity after about
20 minutes.
