I'll tell you how but I can almost guarantee you'll still run around the yard for dear life even though you've dropped them.
You'll need a gallon bucket, a 16 or 32 ounce hand sprayer, ice, water, and a razor blade. Fill the bucket with ice and then fill it again with water so you have a gallon of ice water. You're going to throw the ice water at the nest
Do you see where the running around the yard part comes in? Before you do that, be sure you have a hand sprayer full of ice water, too. You wouldn't want the little guys waking up in the middle of this project, would you?
What you're going to do is throw the water on the nest and then run around the yard. In about 5 seconds you'll realize you're not being chased. Look back gingerly at the nest and you'll see some wasps in suspended animation. You'll probably see some on the ground, too. Spray them all with the ice water in the hand sprayer to make sure they're frozen in time. Be careful not to step on any, either. Then take the razor blade and separate the nest from the surface of whatever it's stuck to. After you have the nest, you can relocate it anywhere in the yard that is a better location than under your stairs. Attach it with staples or a thumbtack or something.
Any problems with that approach??
