I'd suggest some baits of corn syrup and boric acid. Start off with plain
corn syrup for a few days to get them used to it, and then add a few drops
of boric acid. If they avoid the bait, you have added too much boric acid.
When they take the sweet bait back to feed the queens, it will weaken the
nest. I wouldn't look to completely eliminate them, but this should keep
their numbers down.
