WD40 works well to kill them and if you are fast enough you can knock them right out of the air (not recommended).
Soaking the nest with WD40 will get rid of them and supposedly if you leave the nest intact other wasps will not build another nest around it.
I also learned the hard way and now I check out the garage and my sheds really carefully before I get doing too much inside them.
With the dry conditions they will also build underground nests which are tough to deal with.
Definitely got better at aiming with a can of brake cleaner today. Knocked 2 out that were coming straight at me.
