Wasps, which are also known as mud daubers or hornets in San Diego and southwest Riverside County, can be a major problem for property owners. Although they are mostly non-aggressive unless they are provoked or otherwise disturbed, a swarm of wasps can inflict painful stings on people. Also, the nests the insects build on the sides of homes and other structures can be unsightly and messy to clean up and remove.

How Do I Know if I Have Wasps?

The easiest way to detect a wasp infestation is to see them buzzing around. Wasps appear similar to honeybees, but they are longer and more slender than bees. Paper wasps are the most common type of wasp found in our area.

Wasps generally build their nests on the bottom side of the eaves, soffits, and other unprotected areas of a structure. The small nests can appear like balls of mud tucked up underneath the eve. Hornets may be found burrowing in soft soil and mud daubers will attach mud nests to the sides of homes and occasionally inside wall voids as well.

When eliminating a paper wasp nest, it is important to kill all of the adult wasps. Otherwise, the remaining wasps will quickly rebuild the nest.
