Have had a wasps nest outside my old bedroom in my parents house for around 10 years or so, it appears to change location every year. Only noticed it initially as there were loads (30+) of wasps in my room every night back when I was in school. Never really bugged me, so left them alone, have never had a sting. Anyway... tonight I'm back at my parents place playing some late night xbox360 and look up... there's a swarm of around 50 of the things all over the place, circling the light, on the walls, hovering around... Never had quite this many before, so I go to investigate and there's a nest RIGHT outside my window, like the enterence is in the corner of the window on the outside, 5-10 entering a every second! There must be a massive nest in the wall

So... should I finally get rid of them? Should I leave them? My understanding is the queen lives on over the winter while the others die, in the summer the queen has a new nest setup, so I'd assume if I got rid of the nest this time they'd be gone for good? Just wondering about killing them off this time because the nest seems to be the most accessible it's ever been and I could probably do it myself.

As an aside: I pulled a wasp out of a man's ear at 3am around 3 weeks ago in A&E... perhaps tainting my view toward them a little! :P
