You may find their nest under your rain gutter or in any other nook where they can make their home. They usually make them out of the paper they forage and build with.

The Wasp’s Life Cycle

In spring, yellow jackets need protein and will be interested in meat and the like. The Queen always mates when summer is ending and then goes on to hide during the cold winter. While in hiding, the Queen will lay eggs and establish the colony. A colony can reach a staggering number of 15,000 as the season ends. If given a choice, late sprint or the start of summer would be the ideal time to get rid of a colony.
