What do I do?

Hey everyone! I’m new here so excuse me if this isn’t the right subreddit to post this. Yesterday I saw a large wasp in my bedroom. It was near my window (my window is broken and doesn’t open). I’m very afraid of wasps so I ran out and closed my bedroom door.

Later, I had to go back in briefly to get my clothes. While I was in there, I was taking jeans off the floor and something fell on my foot that looked like a dead wasp. It looked dried up, so I think it was already dead.

I got really scared and left my house and stayed at my boyfriend’s place overnight.

Now it’s the next day. My room has been closed the whole time. I’m worried because:

I saw a large wasp yesterday (possibly very big, maybe a queen?)
Then I found a dead/dried wasp later
My bedroom window is broken so I’m worried they’re getting in through a crack
There was also old food in my trash (banana peel, fruit), so I’m scared that might attract more

I’m really anxious that there might be a nest in my room or wall, or that more are coming in through the window.

None of my other windows were open and I have indoor cats, so I don’t think they came from inside the house.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Does this sound like a nest, or just random wasps getting in through a broken window?

Any advice would really help because I’m really stressed about going back into my room.

A world without wasps is a world we don't want to live in!

Wasps are essentially defensive and only sting when they feel threatened, swatted at, or when their nest is approached.

So if that's all the ammo you've got for wasp hate, I suggest you reconsider...

Wasps save farmers over $416 billion annually. Across all 100,000 species, they are essential to global ecosystems. As earth's ultimate pest controllers, pollinators, and natural recyclers, they protect crops, support plant diversity, and sustain the food web.

So for those who also want to argue wasps are useless, sorry... That's also untrue.

The majority of wasp species lay their eggs inside or on a host insect (like a caterpillar or beetle). When the larvae hatch, they consume the host, providing highly specific, natural biological pest control.

Without wasps, ecosystems and agricultural farmlands would be overrun with destructive insects, requiring billions more in chemical pesticide usage.

It stung my titty

I need to rant about that shitty wasp that decided to get mad when it went by itself into my blankets (to be noted, I have a insect screen on my window, he must've really wanted to come in).

I got into bed, was cozy and everything, tried to put my blankets over me and out of nowhere there's a freaking wasp stinging my titty 😭😭 that shit hurts! It stung my thumb when I tried to remove the covers from me.

I ran up, took a jar, caught it and it's not in the freezer. Don't sting my freaking booby bruh. Now how tf I'm supposed to go to sleep?😭

Fuck.

Right above our bed. These bastards. I’ve seen one or two everyday for the past week. Do you think they could be coming from this small nest or could there be another?

Wasp or Bees

Seen a few of these guys poking around an outdoor structure. Had a few wasps nests built here last year and have spotted a few of these guys inspecting the woodwork, perhaps looking for a new home. They look too large to be wasps but they don't look quite like the honeybees in my area.

So if anyone knows: friend or foe? Sorry for picture quality I don't wanna get close to them

I just figured out my wasps are Rusty spider wasps

Apparently they don't go at humans normally, but they do go after spiders.

Could this be a good wasp?

Ants vs. Paper Wasp

This poor little paper wasp had an unfortunate and unavoidable accident where a rolled up magazine collided with him/her at high speed in my garage, resulting in death. For proper disposal this wasp was placed on a trail of ants. The ants immediately swarmed the wasp and within 5 minutes this little wasp was gone without a trace!

Red paper wasps in my ceiling above my bedroom.

I can hear them buzzing, chewing through the wood, etc. they're in various areas in the ceiling of my room and hangout by my window. I've got someone coming in a few days.

It's so fucking gross, ugh. Fuck wasps.

Nuclear strike on a yellowjacket nest. No survivors.

Another war crime for our mutual enjoyment.

Wasp dust to kill hard to access nests is apparently hard to find in Canada because of laws. Can anyone suggest an alternate solution for a nest in the outer wall of my house?

No home hippie remedies please. I want to kill these fuckers properly!
