Is this a paperwasp/yellow jacket? Location Central CT

There are at least 4 of them in my basement and a nest inside the base of my front door. I don't see too many coming in and out of the nest I got some Why Rescue wasp traps, I need to find the entry way from wall to basement and seal. Can anyone tell me what I am dealing with?
