Wasp Nests

A nest of wasps or hornets has taken up residence under the wooden terracing/steps in my yard. I've sprayed the area as much as I could with commercial products, at night when they are in the nest, but since it is under the wood I can't get them all. Any suggestions?

The Dawn detergent sounds like a great idea but could someone be a little more forthcoming? What are the mixing ratios? How does one apply it so that it is sure to be lethal to the wasps (bees?)? Thank you.

About the wasps, what I use is dawn dish soap with water in a sprayer. It
works great. I just killed 15 the other day.
