There are other pests such as bugs, fly, flea, cockroach, etc wander in to homes and make life miserable for occupants.

Why homes are attractive to wasps?
Wasps build nests both indoor and outdoor but somehow they presume your home as a better option for taking refuge. Following are the reasons why:
- Wasps nests outdoor are blown away by harsh winds, hurricane, rain, blizzard etc. trees and bushes are not safe options for building nests because of the harsh natural elements they have to endure
- Homes offer sheltered spaces for building nests. Some of the places they find comfortable include attic, crevices in walls, barn, foundation, basement and pile of wood and car garages
- Homes offer plenty of food in the form of leftover food, sugary drinks, fallen fruits, meats, and water from birdfeed, puddles in the garden etc
- Wasps being omnivorous also find your kitchen garden highly attractive. Flower beds and plants in your lawn offer attractive food option such as honey etc. wasps also prey on insects that are attracted to plants.
Wasps won’t find a better place to build their nest than your home because of the above reasons.
