This is a very good perspective. I have a nest experience from last year that turned out without issues. When I moved into my house last year there was a wasp nest inside the roof overhanging my back deck. This wasn't in the attic or anything, but just on the outside corner of the overhang and it wasn't hurting anything by being there. In the fall, the wasps became busier; I guess getting ready for winter. They still weren't hurting anyone or anything. It did cross my mind to get someone in to get rid of them considering the location was too risky for me to try, I didn't know how big it was, and I didn't want them to come back next year. Since they weren't hurting anything I decided to let it go until it got cold to deal with it. While I was waiting, I found some useful information that, because wasps are territorial, they don't build nests around other nests and they don't come back to the same nest next year. So by doing nothing and letting them live, I now have a small wasp nest on a part of the house that appeals to wasps preventing them from making another one and keeps them away from the back deck. I've barely seen any wasps this year around that deck so it turned out to be a win-win for everyone.
