· They dwell into those small voids and crevices left behind your cables.
· They mostly make their existence under eaves.
· It is rampant during peak summertime.
So what is the solution to avoid them? There are some do’s and don’ts you will have to keep a regular check on during summer.
They often build nests in trees, bushes or under the deck. They can be as big as a basketball and they pretty much come up as a bunch of wasps. Their colonies have drones and the one job they look after is to protect their nests at any cost. DON’T try to deal with these kind of nests all alone as they are very aggressive and difficult to preclude. You can try calling up apiarists who will remove them without any charges or on a very small fee.
