I keep finding dead wasps in my bathroom

Around 1979 I had a wasps nest in the gap between the air brick and a kitchen cupboard. Did the only thing I could think of and sprayed a can of Brut deodorant on them. Stopped their buzzing in 15 mins. Dont know whether they snuffed it or like most girls at the time just went elsewhere.
 
At this time of year the nests are only a few weeks away from dying off. I wouldn't worry about a few dead wasps. Last year I had a period of quite a few live wasps in the bathroom, they were coming in through an air brick, I just taped some gauze over the air brick for a few weeks and never saw them again. Wasps never come back to an old nest so you are unlikely to be bothered by them again.
 
Had wasps coming out of the tap last year. Horrible. They had built their nest on the Under side of the lid of the water tank in the loft. Had a shock of my life when I lifted it. Remove the nest even if they ar dieing off. Don’t leave it. It is not uncommon to see wasps of the same species as previous nests in a property building close to the remains or footprints of old, discarded nests.
 
Look outside (around the eaves in particular) for signs of wasps going in and out of nest, councils usually have a decent service for getting rid
