Was considering getting rid, but after looking up info online the general consensus was that if they didn't freeze to death over the winter they'd come out of hibernation and bugger off somewhere else. Well, in spring they never reappeared, so I guess they either died over the winter or quietly came out of hibernation and departed. Also, wasps won't build a new nest if there's already a nest there, even an old one, so the old nest will act as a deterrent to any others thinking of nesting there (you can buy fake wasps nests to put in the loft to act as a deterrent). I'll just have to remember it's there so if anyone needs to do any work in the loft I can warn them beforehand.
Eusocial wasps produce queens towards the end of the summer, these queens leave the nest and find somewhere to sleep over the winter. Without queens in the nest the remaining wasps eventually die off. In the spring the queen wasps emerge, find a place an build a new nest. This is why wasp nests only last a season, however, the proximity of old wasp nests deterring queens from making a nest next to it is a myth dreamt up be people who want to sell fake wasps.
Many moons ago I did a project with wasp farmers in asia, now there is a hard way to make a living.

Wasps are very important in the ecosystem, unless they have a nest near you it's well worth leaving them alone. If you want to kill something screwing up the ecosystem, shoot a cat.

They are an invasive species, also their owners are lame.
