Personally I recommend finding their nest late at night and using hair spray and a lighter. Or if you can't bear to kill them yourself leave out a 3/4 glass of liquer. They'll come for the sweetness, get too drunk to fly, and drown in it.

If the wasp nest is established and built to the point of having eggs in it, the wasps will not abandon the nest and the eggs.
If you put on all the protective clothing as I suggested and do the removal during a cool evening, you will be fine. We have done this numerous times, no bites. But you have to do it at night, and it has to be cool when the wasps are not very active.
