That sounds like a plan. Just leave a hosepipe on overnight.
Edit: just found this on a site .
Ground nests
If the entrance to the nest is easy to see, it can be blocked using a large, clear bowl. Use caution as there may be more than one entrance to underground nests. Set the bowl over the nest entrance and work it into the ground a bit so there are no exit routes for the wasps. This will confuse the wasps, but they won't try to dig a new entrance. The bowl should remain in place for several weeks.

Hansemann said:Me and a mate used something called Plumbo+ water on a underground wasp nest oncethey all fried. (they managed to fly a little but only until their wings started melting)
Plumbo is that stuff you mix with water and pour down the drain if yous sink is clogged up, we used the nest as the drain
Called Drano in the states? Should work coz wasps are made out of the same stuff that blocks your drains
