Paper Wasps in our walls [View all]

They are coming in through the hose bib and have built a nest in our wall. Terminix is supposed to come tomorrow morning to verify they're was (they are). If they were honeybees, they would need to get someone else in to rescue them.

Has anybody else had this issue? We didn't want to leave it go too long and hope to get things fixed before we have to head to some grad school appts down south. I'm so hoping we don't have to do major demolition
