    You can buy sprays for about 10 Euro. Follow directions carefully. Only spray early morning or late evening when the wasps are back in the nest.

    Spray seems the best bet. Just got rid of a nest myself that had started in my dogs kennel.

    Wait until around dusk to spray the nest as that is when the majority of the wasps will be in it.

    Be careful not to get stung...

    Traced a nest to dog kennel too, poor dog, have placed a galvanised bucket of smoking damp paper in to prove that the nest was there, it was, returned a while later and turned kennel onto side, wazzies are not happy now,
    Will leave it for now until I get the spray or powder and hopefully that will finish them off.

    Just went back to turn the kennel a little bit more with shovel so door would be open and I could look in, holy ****, the thing is bigger than a full size football:eek:
    I can't resist now, will land a bucket of water in on top of it and see what happens

    Throwing water on the nest is more likely to cause damage but scatter the nest but enough may survive to attack you. I would recommend an evening approach with a smoking gun (+ spray as back up).
