Flies are a PITA. I hate wasps and once it starts to warm up here they get pretty bad.

We had a nest we noticed a few falls ago once the leaves left the trees. It was bigger than a football. The thing was huge.

I thought wasp, but very well could have been hornet. I wanted to take it down and preserve it somehow then hang it up again. I think my butthead neighbor knocked it down. They say they are very Territorial and wont build if there is another nest near by.

More football shape. Kind of watermellon shaped with the bottom kind of narrowing. I think the hole was on the bottom. Maybe kind of egg shaped.

I have'nt seen many yet. Once it starts to stay warm I'm sure they will start building.

they just seem to hang around my house... i wanna get them trap things for the yellow jackets and just hope the wasps are attracted to it as well.. they like to crawl behind the fashia boars on the porch where the siding leaves lil gaps.. bugs me ever time i see them crawl in there...

We have a gap in one of our soffits. I have seen them crawling in there. I might get some of that expandable foam stuff and shoot some of that in.
