How to distinguish wasp nests?
Wasps like yellow jackets and bald faced hornets are united in the choice of nest building materials and mostly use papery pulp made out of mixing wood fibers and saliva. They chew wood fibers from nearby trees, fences, log piles and woodwork and mix their saliva to make gummy pulp and build honeycomb shaped nests. You can find nests of yellow jackets underground such as burrows dug by rodents and hollows in tree trunks. The underground nests could be a catacomb where more than one entry or exit points can be found. Paper wasps on the other hand like to build nests in lofty places such as ceiling, beams, overhands and other such places in your home. Nests of bald faced hornets can be found hanging from tree branches, attached to window frames and other places located at a height. All three wasp species do not repeat the same nest and always build a new one in the next season.
Where wasps build their nests?
Wasps do not advertise their nests blatantly so they mostly prefer to build them in hidden or semi-hidden spots. You will find their nests in wall and tree cavities, underground burrows left by rodents, nooks and crevices of building, pile of wood left on the ground, composite heaps, barns and attics. You could also find wasp nests in basement and foundations. Larger nests can even house thousands of wasps hence are dangerous to approach. With sheer numbers they can wreak havoc with your routine as they buzz around in search of food and water.

This is bad news because there may be more than one pest involved in the attack when it takes place near the nest.
