found a wasps nest

[ambereeree]

Hi everyone I found a wasps nest today right next to the back door while I as tidying up the garden. It's in a box thats been there a while and right next to my kids play area on the patio- I saw a two wasps trying to get in after I placed something on it.
I picked the box and put it in a bucket of soapy water but I now have around 10 confused wasps flying around looking their bloody nest and 3 managed to get into the house. They are only quite small.
How long do they normally hang around for and is there anything I can do to speed up their departure? Does eucalyptus or mint deter them?

Oh FGS, wasps and bees are easy to tell apart. I don't like killing things and am vegetarian but I saw my dog attacked and nearly killed by wasps a couple of years ago and I have no sympathy for them now. My adult DS, who rescued the dog, was also stung 30+ times.
No chance would I allow a nest in my garden, close to a child's play area.

No pity for the wasps. I hate them and will definitely kill them if they invade an area where they'll impact on my life at home. I don't imagine it will take more than a day or two for the remaining wasps to disperse.
