FREAKING WASPS - Where are they coming from?!

[Imp]

They're mutant wasps. They grew gills, and at night while you're sleeping, they swim through the sewer system, up your house's plumbing system, and crawl through your sink drains. They only have one desire in this life: To haunt your every waking moment, and then invade your dreams, driving you to the brink of insanity. Once they have reached this goal, they will enslave you and take over all you hold dear. There is no escape.

Unless you sic the rabbit on them.

That's the worse kind.

Do you have a fire place. Ours were in the chimany.

In the past three days, I've killed three wasps and another was killed by a family member.  *All* of them were inside.  This (four dead wasps), by the way, is three more wasps than I've killed in the past five or so years.  Up until now, wasps and I have been on relatively good terms - they avoid me, I avoid them.

Does anyone know where on Earth these little monstrosities might be coming from?  We don't have any apparent holes in our window screens or any other obvious access point.  To my knowledge, none of us have seen one of the little beasts get in through an open door we were going through, either.

Wasps hail from the deepest bowels of hell. They are pure evil!

It's unseasonably warm in south Texas. Today I found three Red Wasps on my living room windows. This happened on a warm winter fay last year as well. That time if was 4 Red Wasps and three Yellow Jackets. I have pretty much concluded they come in via the chimney. I'm planning to seal up the fireplace opening with plastic, then insert bug bombs..

A few years ago the wife put out a kiddie pool for the dog. The wasps found it, then there were thousands of them swarming the back yard and trying to get into the house. I put some liquid soap into the pool, and within a few days, I believe I killed them all.

soap is great for wasps, if there are individual ones, I just shoot them with Spic and Span cleaner liquid in spray bottle. If they are close I just turn to ":spray" function. If out of reach I torpedo them with the "stream." They fall down instantly and I usually stomp them . Otherwise they will spin around on the floor and eventually kick off. Great for $ 1.00 at dollar stores.

I found something even more lethal. By accident pulled out Mr.Clean spray bottle. Now I'm afraid to use it in the house. What are they putting in there?

Best thing I used years ago was the aerosol hair sprays. But, boy did that make stains on the wall.
