This is my actual nightmare, hope you can get rid of them.
A few years ago I was living in a top floor rented flat. Went to climb into bed one night and stood on something painful. I'd taken my glasses off and couldn't immediately see what it was but imagine my horror as I stooped down, pain in my foot continuing to build, to find a dead wasp had just been lying there in wait ready for me to stand on it!
It turns out we had a wasp nest in the roof of the building, and for the next few weeks we tried in vain to get the landlord to sort something. Meanwhile despite our best efforts the wasps kept getting in, sometimes we'd find them still alive but more often dead. They started to fill the ceiling lights in the bathroom, until there was no light getting through the sheer mass of wasp corpses.
We moved out asap, naturally. When we packed up the bedroom it was spotless and a few hours later, easy to spot in the completely bare room, there were at least 10 new dead wasps strewn around the carpet.
When I say this is my nightmare, I do not exaggerate. It's haunted me ever since.
