Getting Rid of Yellowjackets in the Attic?

I have yellow jackets going into the eaves of my house. I believe they are in several areas but in one spot in particular. I sprayed the entrance with wasp spray and now they are coming into my house. I think they may be in my attic and coming through the light fixtures. I find several (5 to 6) per day inside and have been stung.

I had the same problem 2 summers ago and had an exterminator come and treat the areas they were getting in. I didn't see much activity last summer, but now they are back in force. Is there some sort of bomb I can use to kill the nest in the attic so they won't come into my house?

A bee keeper verified that I had yellow jackets. He put on his bee suit and we used a shop vac to suck them out. He stuck the hose next to there entrance and ran the vac for an hour or so. He told me the velocity of the suction kills them on impact with the inside of the can. But still I sprayed killer into the hose to make sure. Seemed to work.
