How to find a wasp nest inside your house

Wasp nests are very hard to locate at times and different species of wasp create different kinds of nests. 

If you have something like the great black wasp or a yellow jacket colony on your property then you should probably be worried. These wasps are attracted to your home because of several reasons, and all those reasons are sickly sweet. Garbage is a huge attractor for wasps and so is compost that has not been properly turned daily. So make sure to store your garbage in a tight sealing and locked container preferably in a garage with a door that tightly meets the ground. You should turn your compost daily and make sure to clean up any leftovers or spilled food or drink from outdoor eating. If you spill a lot of liquid in the yard you can spray it with a hose and sprinkle some boric acid powder in the area to keep insects away until the cola dries up.

Wasps and hornets of certain varieties will build large bulbous nests that often hang from the branch of a tree or the overhang of your roof over a deck. They will also build their nests under your house or your shed, in the walls and the attic. Anywhere they can find to keep the queen safe, well actually, the queen is the one who picks the real estate, every winter the wasps in a colony die off and leave the queen to go find a place to hibernate for the winter when the spring comes she find a nice spot to build a nest. This spot can be in your walls or attic if your home is not properly sealed and she will stay on your property every year because there is food available which makes hunting very easy. 

If you want to find the nest the best way is to follow the wasps, fin the point of highest activity where lots of wasps are swarming and crawling around. You will quickly discover the nest and get a chance to see what you’re dealing with. Ground wasps? Easy, spray them with insecticide? A whole colony of yellow jackets? That’s a bit harder to deal with. You will want to get two full spray cants of insecticide, the powerful stuff, and then spray them both at the same time into the entryway of the wasp nest. This will kill the wasps inside but it may take a while to wait for a good month before taking down the nest. You will also want to do this at night when all the wasps are in the nest sleeping.
