[@Mark-ni3st]

I recently had an infestation of German yellow jackets inside the wall of my town house. The biggest surprise is how aggressive they are about entering your house once the nest is established. They were trying to find cracks in the siding up to the top of the second level windows about 15 feet above ground level and more than 10 feet above the nest site. They were also trying to enter near ground level but 15-20 feet away from the nest. They have something called cognitive plasticity which means they can learn and memorize better than your average insect. It's a little disturbing to see that behavior with such a tiny brain.

[@Ash__1991]

"Some people say if they have a nest like this, they would burn the house down" Me!! I'm some people!

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

Watching your work, I think this was one of the toughest jobs you've done: tight corners in a dilapidated setting with multiple layers of nest cone and thousands of wasps flooding a confined space with limited maneuverability. You're frighteningly good though.

It's so interesting seeing how they hold their nest into any crevice. Looking at the patterns on their paper walls is mesmerizing.

You’re getting a bit slick there with the introductions, my friend. I love your site and I love your philosophy of relocating nests when you can and educating us about the ecological importance of yellow jackets and hornets. When I was a kid I kept a Black Widow as a pet. I set up a terrarium where she could have her web and I’d dab a little honey to attract the flies for her meals. I just couldn’t bring myself to kill her. My mother was not a happy camper about it, but she was sort of used to me bring in various insects. When I saw your site I knew I found a kindred spirit and salute you for your convictions.

[@hotdogman8271]

I remember, years ago yellow jackets built a nest in my sisters bedroom wall and my parents thought they couldn't chew through dry wall. But days later on a school morning, early morning, they broke into the room and stung my sister's multiple times. I got to see a short glimpse of it, but I wasn't afraid to go into the room because I didn't even know about wasps at the time lol. so yeah, the exterminator came and years later, now, I really wonder about where they built the nest, and what wasps they were, because I'm into wasp's now.

[@PlayMoGame]

It sucks that they can unknowingly invade our homes but wasps are awesome. All the parasitoid species that knowingly invade the bodies of their hosts, even some so tiny they lay their eggs inside of other insect eggs. Gall makers that manipulate plant tissue. Spider hunters including at least one that can dive in the freaking water after fishing spiders. Incredible stuff.

You should get one of those attachments that are supposed to go over the floor or something that angles the hose end 90 degrees without it bending much...

We moved from the city to the country into a house that had sat vacant for about 2 years. Needless to say, some bugs (carpenter ants, beetles etc.) claimed it as their own. We have it pretty much under control except paper wasps! Not inside the house, but so many outside flying around the deck area and back door that we can't sit out there. We have searched everywhere for the nest with no luck. I have those sticky traps and they are covered with paper wasps so they must be nearby. We are replacing any and all wet or rotten wood we come across. If anyone has any advice (other than move lol) on where we should be looking for their nest (including Mr. Hornet King of course! I'd greatly appreciate it :) This is one of my favorite youtube channels, I have a great fear of wasps!
