I fried them in a piece of glass tube from a neon sign, with the high voltage wires from the transformer poked into the opposing ends of the tube until it started to arc from wire to wire through the wasp. Stank.

I'm neither proud nor ashamed. Today in my more boring older age I just grab whatever random inappropriate houshold or automotive chemical is handy that squirts or sprays.

Wish I had thought of the freezer & string thing.

Gotta be careful, hit them with WD40 and they might start moving faster!

Soapy water (dish soap) in a spray bottle works wonders. Once they are wet and bubbly they can’t fly, making it safe to knock them to the ground and squish them.

If you happen to have the spray bottle in hand while they are flying at you, a quick mist in the air in their flight path will turn them away.
