Exclamation Help! Bees in my house.

I know this isn't the right place to ask this, but I don't know anyone else that has had this problem, and I need help.

I just killed 3 paper wasps in my basement (I think thats what they are). Last year I saw a few of them down there but dismissed it, thinking they just flew in the house. I believe they are nested somewhere in my basement, as that is the only place I have seen them. My basement is finished with wood paneling over the walls, so there is ample places they could be hiding. I need some advice what to do here. I delt with Orkin in the past (for ants) but was not impressed with them. I could use any advice anyone has.

Naw man, that's how you deal with giant killer spiders.


Wasps are a tough one. The only thing I can think of is getting a few cans of those wasp killing spray bombs and set them off in the basement. I had to do that last year when I uncovered my boat in mid summer. Never though I'd get out of that one alive.

Well, i just found 2 more wasp corpses in the basement. None live though. Strangely, they are all within an area about 2 feet from my toolbox?

Terminex comes out wendsday. They say they may have to drill holes in the walls, which at this point is fine with me. It's hard to sleep when I keep having visions of the last scene in Creepshow (just with bees).
