Month: August 2021

I have regular pest control service that comes and treats the interior and exterior of my home, including the eaves around the perimeter of my house. However twice in the last few months I’ve discovered that a wasp nest has suddenly sprung up by my front door, like RIGHT above the front door. Additionally I’ve found dead wasps trapped in the bathroom fan vent covers in one of my bathrooms. They are too big to get through the small openings in the vent cover so they just kind of die there but I can see their legs sticking out of the holes and it creeps me the hell out.

Several pest control companies have told me you can’t really prevent wasps using their products unless you spray directly onto the bug and I do believe them. But just wondering if anyone has had any luck repelling these suckers using plants, sprays, etc. Anything that might discourage them from making nests next to my front door or coming into my bathroom vent?

I’m not sure if I’m unlucky if these are common issues, but either way it’s really bothering me knowing that every time I step out my front door I run the risk of getting stung 🙁
