Looks like you'll be busy! I hope they don't attack your oothecae...

Why not just toss the cup in the freezer and discard the contents once they are all dead?

 
Put a ziplock bag or see-through plastic grocery bag/produce bag over them. As the wasps fly out, secure them in the top of the bag. Once they are all out of the cup and are safely contained in the plastic bag, dispose of them by: drowning in soapy water, freezing, squishing. Throw the dead wasps and bag away to avoid contamination.
