This makes it look like a Hornet. This species however is much larger and has red markings on all body parts, where the Red Wasp has not. The Red Wasp builds a nest in the ground and prefers to use abandoned mouse nests. Are you sure they are 'red wasps'? Or have you actually got hornets?? Check out this link for pictures to compare.

Get some Raid or Hot Shot Foggers and set them off in your basement; Read directions carefully. After setting off you leave for 2 hours, more if possible. If you work a good time would be early in the morning, when you have the whole day to let it work, plus the bat will be sleeping. When you come home you should find the body. Bats go up so look in rafters and duct vents....(Answered by llittle mama)
