There'll only be one or two wasps in there, knock it off into a plastic bag, tie the top and squash it. You might find the wasp isn't home and will start again, spray the area with creosote or similar and they'll stay away!

If there is any wasps in, spray it with WD40, wait a couple of mins then spray again, then knock it into a bin bag.
The WD40 draws the fluid out of them and kills them.

Be careful around disposing of wasps nets, as they can fly faster than you can run lol

Ant powder works well; but that is just a little one. I had one as big as a basket ball in a tree in the garden.
I paid a guy £45 to spray ant powder into the hole. The wasps went crazy for about 20 mins and then died.
I bust it open after a couple of days; a lot of work goes into making them.

I'm sure in the animated documentaries I watched as a kid, they used to recommend hitting them with an acme anti wasp stick
