I personally don´t know of anyone, but most people sort them out themselves. If you "search" above on this page, "what are you looking for", you will find many posts on this subject "wasps". If you do,, do so in the evening time/dusk when the wasps tend to be dormant. Products available in the co-op in Sax.

Get the spray can from Leroy Merlin, costs around 16-18€.
Read the instructions carefully and cover up well when using.
WD40 is your best option. Spray it liberally all over the nest either at sunrise or sunset when the wasps are docile. They will not swarm. It kills the nest and prevents them from returning (wasps are very territorial and will return to rebuild)
I've used WD40 all the time, never been stung, never had a problem and they've never returned.
