We have a cottage in N. Ga, with an ill fitting screen door into the vestibule. Several years ago, while we were away for a month, this nest happened. We had to wait until nighttime and spray. There was a steady stream coming and going under the door. When I went to remove the nest I discovered the wasps had chewed through the sheetrock and a bit of the rafter. Well, since there was already a collection of rocks, animal skeletons and shells gathered from walks in our woods, I left it as a decorative feature. Saved me doing a sheet rock repair but I do have to dust it now and then. :)
