I keep on finding wasp in the house?

I found a few dead wasps in the house and recently, I have been finding one wasp a day. I don't know what to do. I have tried to check where they are coming from but they come out from different areas. P.S. one day I closed the window and still finding at least one a day.
Anyone had this problem before?

Go outside and look for a nest. Under eaves or corners of doors. Check behind window shutters also. If you find one spray it with Raid wasp killer. There other similar brands but I find Raid to be the best. After dousing the nest knock it down with a broom or stick.

Even if you find one keep looking. If you feel comfortable, check neighbors too.

Thank you for your help. I will do that. Yesterday, I did check the air vent but found nothing and the front of my house. I also check if my attic door was open but it was closed. I am going to check the other areas you said. Thanks Soco. :)

It should not be very big. Maybe around a 50 cent coin or so.

Thanks. I will keep note of that. My neighbours are not friendly which will be a problem. Have you experience a wasp nest in your home or outside your home before?

if you're not allergic, if I were you, I'd let them be! the queen probably thought she found a safe place near your house, they're very smart.
the on-off spring this year killed many of them. and as the weather keeps changing dramatically, their population will be even more decreased. If the winter is warm, queens come out of hibernation early and with limited food sources, they can die of starvation.
they are also helpful if you have a garden.
so, if they're not life threatening for you or your family, there's no reason to kill them, and Raid which was suggested above, is more harmful to people than wasps, and it also kills bees (which is bad for the environment!) oh, and they'll be gone by winter. the males die out and the queens usually find a new place next year. and they've probably been there the whole summer, and now the males are dying out due to the weather.

That makes sense. Thanks for the information and breakdown. My family and I would have to track it down because my father is very allergic to them.
