Wasps nest inside our furnace
A few years back the camper behind us noticed wasps flying in and out of our furnace vent. We waited until dark and then placed a metal screened rectangular box over the furnace vent. As soon as the wasps felt that box GENTLY placed over the vent, they swarmed out at us. WE sprayed like crazy and kept that box tight up against the vent for two days. Then carefully pulled the furnace out... what a mess.
The nest was at least 4" in diameter. We sprayed the nest and put it in a bag and sprayed it some more... but those wasps were still hatching out of it for a few days.
We have all our vents covered now and check the rig for nests... even under the door pull handles on everything.
