I need help. We moved into a house last July and whenever we have a warm day
we have tons of wasps swarming the roof of our house. They seem to favor the
back corner and the chimney area. We have searched and searched for any nest
(s) to no avail. We can't even see any particular place they seem to be
entering...just swarming. It's still early but we have a 7 year old and want
to get rid of them before summer. Any advice would be helpful

Try luring them out with some white bread and mayonnaise, if that fails,
try stock options.

there are some commercial wasp traps that you can hang/place close to that
area. I think you fill it with something sweet (apple juice concentrate?)
and they fly in and can't fly out of. It works for my mom. You might need
more than one in your case.
Probably a hole inbetween the bricks and if you watch carefully with
binoculars maybe you will find that hole.

Finding the nest will help though and some pest control companies might be
successful if you are not. ;-)
