I was dealing with wasps landing on me (several at time) and "smelling" me, checking me out. But that was OUTSIDE. A yellowjacket took a BITE out of my arm, not a sting, he tried to EAT me. And that was outside, too. Still, I was dealing with the nearly horror-movie volume of wasps as long as it was outside.
Inside is another thing.
These guys in the bathroom were a)yellowjackets, who are notoriously cranky and b)ANGRY.
Basically I'd spray them with soapy water, pick them up with toilet paper and flush them. I can't risk Sofia getting stung again, and I hate stepping on them and getting stung. Or picking up a towel and drying myself off with a yellowjacket in the towel...OUCH.
So hey, if you can live with them on the windows, more power to ya. In the bathroom it's not okay with me. There is no window in the bathroom.
The LL says he "tore out the wall" and got the nest. So far I've found about five flying around the house since. Plus one on the toilet body and one UNDER THE TOILET SEAT. THAT would have been bad! He also emptied the light fixture, thank god. But after that he freaked out on me (see my buying a house thread).
