Wasps fly a rather straight pattern back to their nest. Find the nest by using some food they like, such as a sugar drink, and see where they fly to when they leave. Move the container closer until you find the nest.

OR, OR, OR...a pheromone trap which I already mentioned many times.

That helps to kill the animals if I understand you correctly. Your last point was to find them. It may surprise you, but I did not research the suggestions you made and don't know their alternate uses. You could get rid of a nest after finding it without also killing the bees in your area (at least, public services handle that and I didn't hear otherwise).

You can find them and get them removed all without shouting :-)
