Fly trap, the kind that is easy to crawl in, but not get out.
Vegemite in water?

Err, OP says these are EUROPEAN wasps, not your paper wasp.

Hah! Great idea! I'll try the little tykes with various baits and see
which ones tickle their fancy. They disappear before it gets dark, but
it's impossible to chase them, since they trundle over a series of
neighbours' fences and I'm not as nimble as I used to be. The nest isn't
in my yard (I don't *think*...), but I'm anxious not to attract a queen
here either. The wasps I do have seem to be just sailing around
aimlessly, barely alighting on anything (hence the problem with the fly
swatter method). Thing is, the kids reckon there are more here today
than there were yesterday. That's not a good sign, is it? =:-0

Well they are attracted to sweet foods and meat so hide the pet food and
hope they go else where if you cant source the hive...
Leaving a poisoned sweet food will kill much more than wasps which is
a real quandary so atm no ideas
