If they are returning there must still be a nest. Usually once you get rid of a nest the wasps don't return.
We had the same problem, Scott. My husband just kept spraying until they finally gave up. We had yellow jackets and they were persistent!
If you don't see a paper cone where they hang out they may have found a way into the siding. If you see a nest hanging on underside of eave knock it down and trash. No nest and they return; get someone to check if they found a way in.
Hi Scott,
We solved a similar wasp problem, they were getting into small gaps where the siding trim met the siding.
What I did was protect any plants below with newspaper, then at dusk (dawn is good too-because they return to the nest to rest). I took an automotive spray protectant called Armor All and sprayed up there-it has a good distance stream to it on the plastic bottle. Be ready to run and get inside. The Armor All is a petroleum product and it coats the wasps' wings so they cant fly, usually they then just drop and die.
Repeat as necessary.
Try termite spray
To Ann, Deanna, Redcatcec, Kathy: thank you, thank you, thank you. I will gett 'er done and post my results.
Get a few dollar store paper lunch bags. Blow them up and puff them out. Hang from eves of house. Front, back and sides. They think it is a competing nest and will go elsewhere. Then tackle the rest, just call an exterminator to handle for you.
