Call an exterminator.

Answer 2

Are you in an area that is going to have frost pretty soon?  If so, the frost will take care of the wasps for you.

Are they wasps, or yellowjackets?  Are you seeing the paper nests they build?

You can purchase, and set out whasp traps.  They work extremely well.  You can find them at feed stores, and WalMart.

Yellowjackets and wasps become more aggressive this time of year, as their sources of food go away, as we approach autumn.

The best thing to do is set the plastic traps you can purchase.  I've had bad wasp years, where my traps have caught and killed hundreds of them a day.

Here's a link that shows you how to build a simple wasp trap out of plastic soda bottles:

The best way to eliminate wasps from an underground nest is with kerosene or diesel fuel. The reason is that the toxic fumes will kill them very quickly. The trick is to know of all the holes that the wasps use for their nest. When you know where they are, you have to work during the night or early morning, when most of them are sleeping in the nest. You need to pour the kerosene or diesel fuel and cover the holes as fast as possible, having a partner is ideal. If the holes are all sealed, the toxic vapors will get rid of the entire nest very fast.

For outside nests, such as a paper wasp nest, it's not difficult either. You will need to work at night also. How to kill wasps without being in danger you might ask. Simple you just need to be well dressed with a few layers to prevent stings. You should also move slowly and get your wasp killing agent ready. Raid is very useful for getting rid of wasps. You should spray the entrance enough that the wasps will get in contact with the chemicals when they go out. If the nest is elevated, use a projectile spray instead, it should reach the nest, since it can spray up to 20 feet. This should take car of your wasp problems.
