Red paper wasps are not at all like their yellowjacket counterparts. They are generally calm and no aggressive unless their nest is endangered. If you have one of these nests on your property you do not have to remove it, you can leave it be and allow it to help your garden which it will immensely. However, if you have several nests or if you have a family member who is allergic to wasps then you will have to take action and either trap them, exterminate them yourself or call the professionals.

Paper wasps have a similar life cycle to a yellowjacket queen. They build a nest in the spring and lay eggs in it. They then use insect carcasses to feed the child. The slowly develop through 2 stages of metamorphosis and then become flying wasps themselves. In this process, the larva has to eat themselves to cause the change to occur. When the fall comes the wasp will start eating more sweet food, trying to fill up as much as it can so that when the winter comes it can find a safe place to hibernate through the winter. In the case of yellowjackets the workers die off at the end of the winter and only the queens survive to hibernate. This process can continue for years, with more and more wasps being bread. If your home starts to fill up with these wasp nests then you will need to deal with them, especially if they are inside the house or worse, inside the walls. If you cannot for the life of you find the nest then you can try following a wasp around for a while and see if it will lead you to where the nest is. Once you find it the real battle is over. Wait till nightfall and you can either kill the nest with insecticide and remove it or you can put a jar over it and sever the connection to the wall with a plate and move it far away from your home and leave it. They will likely remain asleep if not jostled too much.
