I like the nest for decor as well. A nice addition to a man room.
Like everyone else said wait till a good freeze before you mess around with them. (though taking pot shots at it with a potato gun is quite entertaining)
It is too bad they can be such a nuisance, because they really aid in managing other pests. On to the point, a few factors that can help when dealing with them. Light-colored clothing is a good choice. Beesuits are white because of thermal reasons and white is not a recognized typical 'threat' color. All the animals that would harass them are darker colored. And, as others have mentioned, colder weather is a good time to deal with them. They can still sting, but they need to group up to generate heat and are clumsy and slow without it.
in NC we put a plastic bag over them,tie bag to branch to seal it off.Then cut branch. spray bug killer in bag,let sit.Keep it in a cool area "shaded" if left in the sun condensation will start and if left to long will destroy nest. I have 2 hanging in the house and 4 out in the barn
