Thank you for explaining this so clearly and concisely. We had a nest of wasps in our not-working extractor in the kitchen and they kept coming inside the kitchen through the bulbs’ holes. It’s comforting to know that the wasps will die off during the cold season and they will not return to the same place to build their nest next year.

i had taken a cute little mud dauber house indoors some months ago. 2 days ago i came upon it and picked it up to take it outside. Much to my amazement a sleepy wasp crawled out!
I ran outside and watched it walk around for a while. It took a while for the wings to unstick. “She” (i’m guessing it’s a she) still can’t fly however. She’s very mellow. An ant came by and bit her “foot”& she shook it off. I don’t think she could survive til she can fly. I have her in a jar with a raspberry & keep checking if she can fly. I gather she eats spiders. Do they need to be alive? Can she eat fruit? Will she eventually be able to fly? I’d appreciate any answers at all. thanks, Sandy

Anyone who kills wasps that are not a death threat is doing more harm then good! Wasps are one of the best pesticides mother nature invented. I love them for my garden.

Thanks for the info! It was very helpfull to find out that they don’t use the same nest next year! The have made a nest inside our hot tub. They actually got under the shell of it so I’m happy to hear they won’t be there next year. I will seal the area of entry in late fall.

We had a lot of wasps this past summer. They actually burrow into the wood! Now we have holes all over our porch
