Q. Since August, yellow jackets have been flying in and out at one spot under the vinyl siding where it begins at the concrete base on which my house rests. Will I have to have some of the siding removed to find and destroy the nest? If I just ignore them, what would be the consequences? Do they leave for the winter? What damage can they do to my house?
