I think that the onset of frosty weather signals the end for paper wasp nests. Before that happens, cooling temperatures make the wasps drowsy and more aggressive. Your front door is kind of a risky place to let wasps nest, as a visitor to your house might be unaware of the nest and be severely stung. However, it is your door, and you get to decide whether the nest stays or goes.
