They do normally nest in a particular place for only one season, and only the queen survives over the winter, as Dianavan said. In the spring she will probably find a new site. I had such a nest in the east wall of the house, but up too high to get at without a tall ladder. They were entering the wall through a very small opening by an electrical line. I do not fancy taking on a yellowjacket nest while atop a tall ladder...so I left them alone. The following spring there was no sign of them right into normal yellowjacket season, so I eventually went up there and plugged the hole with spray foam so a future queen wouldn't get the idea to move in there. And none has.
