    Do they really attack on sight?

    Here it’s usually that they seek out the breath because of the monoxide and people start panicking because the ly fly into their face and seemingly wont go away. So they Start swinging their arms at the wasp and it feels in danger and attacks.

    Easiest solution is to hold breath and walk away if they bother you.

      If you are too close to the nest, they will send out scouts, and then you can expect an attack. Kill them first.

        That’s true and it’s kind of bad to have them where you’re walking daily. That’s when I would do something as well.

        I already said that in my first comment.

        Theyre an important part of the ecosystem though. Pest killer number one. If there’s constantly wasps settling near you, there’s a reason.

          The waps here hang paper nests all over the place. Like outside your kids room. Maybe even inside. We mostly encounter them in the context of their breeding activities.
