Basically you go get a spray can of Raid, or other brand, of stuff that's made to kill bees and hornets. Then go out at night, because at night there won't be any bees flying around outside the hive, and spray into the hole at the bottom for a few seconds -- not long, but long enough to soak it a bit. High tail it out of there, and in the morning, all the bees will be dead on the ground, and you can take down the hive.

Use the foaming Raid--it's safer (to you, not to the wasps)--since they can't fly through the foam (just be quick about it).
