We couldn't even see the one in the tree until the leaves dropped. Then it was a neighbor that pointed it out.

When I see them starting to build I'll hose them down then run like crazy into the house.

lol... hosing doesnt work.. just ticks them off... i tried hosing a wasp down once the lil bugger kept trying to take off cept i was keeping the hose on him till i got close and squashed him... that "cant fly when theyre wings are wet" is a total myth... cuz they can...

I have hosed them in the air. Then lost sight of them and I'm standing there turning around in circles hoping I can get it. Anyone seeing me probably thinks I'm loopy.

Ya right back into a bunch of PO'd wasps. That's kind of in between a rock and a hard place. I'd really be dancing then wondering which way to go.
