Mud dauber and paper wasps?
Question:Seemingly overnight my yard has become home to three 2" diameter mud dauber's nests that are slowly getting bigger. They are located under an overhang in our fence.
I have also had a large amount of paper wasps crawling under the rim of my hot tub. I am not sure if there is a nest though. They are crawling between the wood and the plastic tub. We have managed to not disturb them yet but I like being in my hot tub. Since the tub makes noise I am worried they will be set off.
I have a curious service dog and I have to protect him from himself. I am not so worried about myself but between my dog and neighbor who is allergic to them, they must go. Would you please give me your tips before I do battle. The species has been identified.
Thanks

Kill the hot tub wasp, enjoy the mud dauber's they eat other bugs.
Get the wasp spray. You can stand up to 15' away and spray the nest. That way you can spray and run like hell !!!
