As with beehives that are similarly hidden from view there are several ways to determine whether wasps have set up home beneath your sidings.

A neighbor destroyed a mud nest hanging on her porch. After dusting in the void where the wasps have a built a nest you can try spraying the siding with a product such as talstar p.

Putting a mirror under the siding did not reveal the nest. You can spray once a month and any wasp that lands on treated areas will be eliminated within about 24 hours which should stop new wasps from being able to build a nest. Also aluminum dust can be explosive. For those with aluminum siding i ve read that inhaling aluminum dust can be very dangerous so wear a mask.
