Poser called doff works wonders
There is a product called WHY (Wasps, hornets, yellowjackets). I got mine at Walmart, but have also seen it at Home Depot/Lowes. It is a trap that you hang away from your seating/garden areas. You have to refill it every couple weeks with the liquid attractant, but I cannot tell you how many wasps and yellow jackets I have disposed of. It will not get rid of every one of your wasps, but it has definitely cut down on the number of nests I have. I especially like it because the attractant does not attract honey bees, so they are safe to continue to pollinate the world! :)
I would pour boiling water over them, but I would wait until early evening when they have settled down. I like this because it isn't a harsh chemical.
we have them in our pastures-my husband pours gas over the nesting area to kill them. then he goes back & digs up the nest. You would be amazed at how big some of their nests are once you start digging. They can cover a very large area under ground as they spread their nest outwards.
boiling water should kill ivy too
