Used to have the same trouble in the wall of my old house. Found a small hole where they went in and out, and was going to plug it. Then I decided that if I plugged it, they might find a way to come inside the house instead of staying in the wall. My solution was to wait until about an hour before dark, when they all seemed to be coming home, and prop the end of the shop vac hose up very close to that hole. As they arrived, they were sucked into the shopvac. The next morning, I got another bunch as they were leaving. By the second evening, there weren't very many. Each time when I finished vacuuming, I'd spray some Raid into the vac (when it wasn't runnning) and plug the hose.
Didn't seem to have a problem after that, so I caulked the hole under the window sill and pretty much forgot about it. When we replaced that window about a year ago, we found a massive nest in the wall, but no insects.
