There was a thread on here a while ago about them. Basically the colonies are small for most of the summer so you don't notice them, then about August they become a large enough group that they begin defending themselves. If you find the hole, spray a spray can of wasp/hornet spray down it at night--the kind that covers the wings so the wasps can't fly. That usually kills off the colony. Otherwise the queen overwinters in underground and starts another colony the next year. I've step in a fair number of these over my checkered career to have a healthy dislike of them.
