They're a pain, but as you can see, the jam jars work. Empty them out and start again.

As the season comes to an end, the wasps get weaker and they fly slower. It's possible to just swat them with an open hand at this stage to knock them out, and then dispose of them. Obviously, don't try this when they're full of life, as they may take exception to it. :)
