How do I get wasps out of my yard and porch?

There are lots of wasps that swarm around my yard and my back porch. I think the nest is inside the ceiling somewhere, but I can't afford to tear down the tiles and get rid of it. Is there some sort of wasp repellent that I can set out? I tried sprays and they won't work. Can anybody help me please? I would appreciate it :)

    What are you calling a wasp? This time of year it is mostly carpenter bees flying around. A badminton racket seems to work the best. You whack them and then step on them.

    2 ways= get 3 cake pans about a inch or 2 high. put warm root beer about half way in each pan, then put all 3 about 5 feet apart near your porch. wasps, yellow jackets will over drink and fall in the root beer and drown. At night on the 2nd. day, go out and get the pans and dump them down the drain. dont dump any on ground. then reload them with more root beer. If first wont work, fill each pan n1/2 water and raw meat about a inch higher than the water and put it in the middle of each pan. results wasps will over eat meat and fall in and drown in the water.

    first find out where they are getting in and out the house. then at around 2am, sneak up on the hole with some putty and block the hole/s off. then use a big CO2 fire extinguisher, (or better yet a big nitrogen bottle, regulator and hose) on the nest - drill a suitable hole in the ceiling near where the suspected nest is located, insert hose and let rip - immediately seal it up with putty - repeat nightly until no more wasps.
