For the last couple of weeks my house has slowly been invaded by yellow jackets.

We have a nest in the corner of the house near the front door. Last night we had someone take part of the siding off and there was this huge hole in the foundation where they were getting in and out. We foamed it near the hole but I'm not sure how much good that did since the actual nest is probably pretty far into the foundation.

On Saturday we turned on the furnace and it got pretty crazy. We killed almost 30 wasps over a 30 minute period in the house. After that we turned off the heat. Yesterday we put screen over all of the vents and watched one of them as 6 wasps tried to crawl out of the vent.

Hopefully the cold weather will kill most of them pretty soon. It was just above 40 when I got up this morning so the overnights are either close to or hitting freezing.
