Or is there a product that can reach out over 40 feet?
I had the same issue - I used the garden hose. It didn't knock the nest down, but it damaged it and soaked it enough to cause mass panic among the inhabitants....while I was safely on the ground, able to walk away quickly.

I gave it another shot a few days later, and they gave up. Eventually it dried and fell off in pieces.
