During the summer, I purchased a juice container and, at midnight, dressed in protective gear, captured the entire nest, and drove to the country where I placed the nest in a tree. I don't recommend this technique for everyone but, like you, I just couldn't kill them simply because they were a nuisance to my way of life. But they had to go as they were posing a threat to family, neighbours, pets, etc.
