Your door nesters are probably either mud wasps or paper wasps, both of which are relatively docile.

Thanks for the update.
I know that. Every time I have dealt with a wasp, it was as simply as giving them their space without swatting at them. And today, all I did was open the screen door and shake it a bit, and they flew off. But that does not mean I want a huge bulbus hive built over time.
I simply found today funny. That is it.
And yes, yellow jackets, no shit. I agree. Even growing up, back on the street I grew up on in Northern Va, I pretty much had the same thing happen. I don't remember if we were playing soccer, or kickball, but someone kicked the ball over the fence into some brush/bushes. Stupid me volunteered to retrieve the ball, and the same Pearl Harbor event happened.
You can stop the nest building by applying a very light dusting of boric acid to the gap where they’re entering.
