Since itās in your house, you canāt use my favorite waspinator, gunpowder.

I try to leave them alone but itās getting out of hand. I hear peppermint oil works on wasps. Several wasp nest. Maybe three. They got an expansion pack added to their game. Coolest part of the day is best to go up. When itās above 75 degrees theyāre pissy. The key is to be still and use the electric fly swatter to buy a few minutes so I can feed the plants.

Thanks man. Iām getting the hang of PTSD. I should of died. Unfortunately Iāve had three blood infections since the near death experience. Right now Iām feeling a little seasonal allergies (I hope). But itās been a weird rollercoaster this past 6 months. I donāt read the new very often because it effects my anxiety badly. When I do force myself itās just to get a feel whatās on peoples hearts and minds so I can discern my environment.

Man, I love my wasps, but youāre right. You donāt want them nesting above your plants. Theyāre great predators. Notice the one in the pic is under the leafā¦ looking for eggs probably.
Itās best to find out which wasp youāre dealing with first. I found out the majority of mine are European paper wasp and are famous plant predators. I keep a couple of 5 gallon buckets full of water outside to gas the chlorine off a day before I use it. It gets hot here in summer and the wasps come to the buckets like horses and drink water all day long.
Sometimes they get hung up in the water and canāt get out. So, all summer long I rescue the wasps. It helped my fear of them. I never got stung. I would let them recover on my hand or arm until they could fly. It was really interesting. They always go through a ritual of wiping all water off all over. It takes them a few minutes and I always watchā¦ theyāre actually really cool once I realized they were harvesting bugs from my pot. 
But, I have been stung when Iāve disturbed their nest or one of them accidentally. Other than that, I swear it seems like they realize youāre okay, especially when you always save them from the bucket, lol ā¦ I have a really cool insect, bird, and reptile community here. Nobody has used pesticides anywhere near here I guess, so itās very rich and diverse, and itās a source of my entertainment all summer while stoned.

Inspiring story @GMan.
I get a mix of yellow jackets and paper wasp. I never get stung by the yellow jackets. The last set of pics i posted did come with the price of being stung by my paper wasps. As far as plant care it does hinder my ability to check PH levels and basic maintenance on the plants. The sub room I used is becoming filled everyday with more plants. The Attic is huge. Ive only built half of it with flooring the nest is somewhere on the unbuilt side and with open vents they have access to the outdoorsā¦looks like ill be finishing it up this summer for a 30 ft Ć 7 grow area.

Why donāt you wear some sort of rubber gloves and long sleeve jacket when you need to check stuff.
I wonder if they can be calmed down with smoke like bees. Roll a big phat joint and smoke it while doing your chores near the wasps hehehe

I cant smoke weed like i used to. A joint will last me a few days now. 3 to 4 weeks and I can harvest and do some cleaning and rebuilding. By that time theyll have new sources for food. Most of all they are drawn by the lights. So a few weeks with the lights off should get them out of this routine of swarming the lights, maybe get them to focus on food outside. Its vegging time of year anyways. The heat in the summer is hard on my lights not to mention flowering plants.
