Signs You Have a Wasp Nest
There are a few signs that you can look for when it comes to wasps building a nest on or around your house. First if you start to see wasps that are congregating around your home or property. You might also see wasps coming and going through the day and hanging around the same area of the yard or the house. If you are seeing a few wasps, here and there that is common but if you see a plethora there is likely a nest on or near your home.
Where is The Nest Located
You want to make sure that if you are seeing a lot of wasps and suspect you have a wasp nest on your property, you know where it is located. You can go to the area that you tend to see wasps the most. You want to look for the nest which can differ depending on the wasp species. Paper wasps build papery like nests that looks like an upside down umbrella and can be tucked under the eaves of the house while mud daubers use mud to create a nest that will have small holes where the wasps get in and out. In Ohio, we have many species of wasps found here including paper wasps, yellowjackets, bald-faced hornets, cicada killers, European hornets, mud daubers and spider wasps.
