This happened last fall, when we had been in our new house for a little over a year. We had noticed what we thought were bees buzzing outside a certain spot of our house that summer, but we never went near it, and planned on knocking down any nest we found in winter.
As it got colder, yellow jackets started coming into my bedroom. It started with one here, one there. As the wasps increased, I thought back to the bees, and realized that it was actually a wasp nest. When I was growing up, we lived on the edge of town, and they would nest under the deck. Normally from just walking outside. I guessed that I just had bad luck with wasps, and we tried to figure out what to do. My brother is very sensitive to many insecticides, but I found a natural way to kill them, and nuked the nest.
I was wearing a bee suit. I hoped it was over. But the wasps just kept coming. It was at this point that we realized they were only coming into my bedroom, which was nowhere near the nest.
Some of the wasps seemed ill, and all except the queens would die as it got colder. I decided it was just easier to sleep on the couch for a week until they stopped coming in. I was hoping they were gone. Within five minutes though, there were three wasps buzzing around.
The next day I got up quite late. Again no wasps. Until I entered the room. Before I even had a chance to get in the shower, there were another handful of wasps!
