Question

Answer 1

May be someone is putting it in there to scare u

Answer 2

They are like ants and mice and able to squeeze through small openings.  Look outside the house and get rid of any wasp nests you find - carefully.  The nest destroyed will really p**s them off and they will seek another location. Caulk cracks and check screens and look for any other openings where they can enter.  There are many kinds of wasps, most don't tend to bother people but can. Ground behives are more concern because they tend to swarm you if you mess with them.

Answer 3

I would look for one of those sonic pest away gadgets at your hardware store and see if they work on yellow jackets.  I would think they would.  

My neighbor has told me he started using them for mice but noticed that he never sees any insects in the house since he plugged them in.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Do you have a chimney? They love flying down those to get into houses. Plus, as the others suggsted, it could be via a crack in the window screen/pane/frame et.c or a door jam.

Geta yellow jacket trap from Lowe's or Ace and put it on a tree outside. You'll trap so many of the little b******s you won't believe it.

Answer 5

it's a ghost or an entity .

Answer 6

Is there a gap in the window frame?  

I'm not sure what you mean "moved my closet door".  Did it come out of the closet?

Answer 7

Check your window screens, make sure there are no holes in them and also make sure they fit properly.  

Make sure that when you close your windows that there are no gaps on the top, bottom, or sides.

Answer 8

Look for open window gaps.

Do you have a screen door?

They may get in that way.
