We seem to have an infestation of some type of insect that is nesting “inside” an eave. The bug is slipping between the slats of an eave and is creating a nest that isn’t visible.

The tail is somewhat long and cylindrical, body has some yellow and the face almost looks like it has a yellow smile on it. Total length is about 1 inch.

My question is what type of bug is this? And what’s the best approach in removing the hive?

We are located in Long Island, New York.
