Just spray it thoroughly with Raid or similar product after dark. I have read that a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water (spray) also is effective, and of course better for the environment. Be sure to leave a safe distance, of 4-6 feet, just in case any wasps emerge from the nest, and leave the area right afterward.

Altering habitat, involving professional services, and wrecking nests are ways to get rid of digger bees (also known as ground bees). The insects in question count among nature’s beneficial insects even though their nesting below-ground in residential lawns and paths can be worrisome for households that include less agile older and younger members. They do not linger where they cannot access food and shelter and therefore respond to nests being exposed to professionally applied insecticides -- before and following the most active hours from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. -- and getting plugged with mulch or water.

Water should make them scatter, just make sure you are protected.
