Today I noticed a wasp coming and going in my living room. More precisely, it goes into the wall just next to the light. There is not too much room there and I don’t really have visibility, so I can’t tell what this wasp-like insect is doing there. Also, even tho I think it’s one, maybe it’s one at a time? Not sure.
I did check some videos on the topic and maybe this could be the beginning of nest? Since, I wouldn’t want something like that in my home, I am looking for ideas on how to deal with this. It seems like a tricky spot to me due to the electric wires connections, in the sense that spraying something there could be dangerous.
Anyways, if you have experience and/or ideas on what to do, please help!
Hard to tell from the picture but it may be a mud dauber, which is not a very aggressive wasp (to humans) and is useful for controlling spider populations. if they’re getting up into your ceiling near the light fixture, blocking it off may prevent it from trying to nest there. if it’s building on the fixture itself, knocking down the nest might convince it to relocate to a safer area. I’ve never had a mud dauber sting me even while knocking down nests, but I would still wait until it’s off gathering mud to make an attempt on the nest.
