    Wasps nested in my walls. I sucked them out with a Vacuum then put in some insecticide.

          It was pretty bad. Every day a few wasps would find there way inside the house through lightning fixtures. I was freaking out, but some googling and advice from friends helped me sort it out. When I went outside I was able to quickly identify where they were coming in since there were so many wasps coming and going. The vacuum made them furious but they just kept attacking the nozzle and getting sucked in. Once I had sucked up the bulk of them it was safe to inject some insecticide and then eventually caulk up the entrance.

            Did you use an extra long hose attachment? Wear some type of protection? That would be super scary! They can be so aggressive! We had some that chased a friend across the yard.

              I wore a hoody with a mask and glasses to protect my face at first, but needed none of that. The wasps exclusively attacked the nozzle and at no point came anywgere near me.
