There are several different kinds of wasps nests in North America. The paper wasp is a solitary wasp and their nest looks very different from the soccer ball-sized open nest of the yellow jacket and the ridged straight walls of the underground murder wasp nest. Hornets, also wasps with a slightly different nest make aerial nests in the trees, they are closed unlike wasps’ nests so they can be made out in the open. The mud dauber, an unusual and non-aggressive wasp makes its nest in mud, digging for grubs in the ground, stinging them, and laying an egg beside the.

Your attic could have any of these nests, even the open nests of yellow jackets and murder hornets would love to build a nest in your warm attic. There in the attic, they do not suffer from winter and so they can act as if they live in an equatorial location. They can build the nest without stopping, laying eggs while ignoring the normal and natural time frames of birthing for wasps. They will continue indefinitely building the nest and laying eggs to the point that you could have a super nest that fills the walls and makes extermination nearly impossible.
The paper wasp is not a threat in this situation. They will try to build a nest in your attic but the small umbrella-like nest is open and the larva is visible. Some insecticide spray or even dust would be more than enough to kill the nest. If you do it at night the wasps will be sleeping and the extermination will be even easier. That being said they are not a major threat and if you are willing to do the work of relocating them you will be doing a great kindness to nature by preserving these pollinating wasps.
Hornets are not something you can deal with on your own. They are often far too high up to access and their size is often terrifying. This can also be the case for bald-faced wasps.
