I have similar ones in my shed...two or three nest actually. It's all good unless they show aggression then they get the wasp spray. Already went to war with one nest and the other nest took notice and have not messed with me lol
I see wasp in the garden often so I don't want to kill them knowing they are beneficial

We have the reptile explosion going on right now in N-central FL. Like Jurassic Park on a mini-scale. Plus tree frogs galore with all the rain. They like to eat aphids and other juicy morsels. Bon- ape-tit.
