I bet you get stung more.

Your best plan of attack should be attempted at night, with smoke (if you plan to relocate them) or a fire extinguisher if you plan on removing them.

Or better yet you a few bucks have someone who knows what there doing get rid of them.

wear long sleeves and pants too, hopefully keep some of the stings off.

and maybe a garden hose to ward of the attack in case needed as well. or a fire extinguisher would work too...

Fire. Lots of fire. And then some more fire, with a side order of fire.

Actually, just regular wasp and hornet killer will work just fine. Hit them at night, they won't be active. Try to spray the stuff up into the entrance of the nest, if they are hornets it'll be at the lowest point of the nest. About a three second burst should be enough, then depart the area. Make sure you don't get the spray on you, long sleeves and jeans are a good idea.
