Collecting stray swarms is, I'm afraid, merely pest removal, often involving personal risk, usually for free.  If u have to wait for all the stragglers, or make a second visit, it can take a long time. Jim's 'leave behind' killing bottle sounds good - the 'client' can dispose of it after a few days. 

Peter Edwards commented swarm collection is a service, not for profit.  There are however many ways of serving one's neighbour and only 24 hours in a day.
