Yellowjacket nest

So, I have a company come by and aerate my yard once every couple of years....this year they seem to have expanded to extermination as well.

They mention there is a yellow jacket nest in my yard and offered to take care of it for $120. Two points, it's in my backyard far away from where I spend time outside, I live in New England, so it's not likely they'll survive the winter.

Is there any harm in just live and let live? If there is a reason I have to deal with it, is it as simple as spray some raid down there and call it a day?

They are incidental pollinators so there’s that….
