Thats why you have liara helping you find the Reapers and finding out what their up to. All it would take would be a decent ambush with a large enough fleet to put the fear of God into them. We have intel on their stratigies, their technology (the normany's cannon) and Shepard has the schmatics for Harbinger which they can use to find weak spots in their design. Not even the Reapers are invincible. And also, system-hopping takes a great deal of time, something that the Reaper didn't mind in the past. now they have to worry about messages going, reenforcements coming, them dying. If they want to survive they need to learn about tactics and stratagy, attacking this base so that base will be undefended. But as machines, and as they have done the same thing for millions of years, it would be difficult from them to break out of their own predicabilty.
