Wasps in the house

Sep 20, 2005 3 Replies

Looks like the "wasp season" is about over here (NE USA) but I have been going mad tyring to find out how they get into the house.



We find them in the kitchen, and I have been unable to see the entry point(s). Maybe some of you can share places you have identified (or not).


Along the siderails (whatever ya calls 'em) in double-hung windows. Gaps in screens.

Mainly, if you're getting more than a wasp now and then, there's a nest somewhere. Take a walk around the house mid-day and look at the walls, up into the eaves, gutters, etc., and look for activity.

Light fixtures, any small hole, most likely on the ceiling or along the outside wall, even behind cabinets sometimes. Here they like to pick the eves to make nests in.
