Frequently Asked Questions
Are mud daubers dangerous?
Mud daubers are solitary wasps that rarely sting even when handled. They're not aggressive and don't defend nests like social wasps. They're actually beneficial, preying heavily on spiders including black widows. Consider tolerating them in low-traffic areas.
Should I remove mud dauber nests?
Unless nests are in high-traffic areas or aesthetically problematic, mud daubers are beneficial neighbors. They effectively control spider populations. If removal is needed, simply scrape off the mud nest—the docile wasps won't attack.
Why do Georgia homes have more mud daubers problems?
Georgia's proximity to water creates humidity that mud daubers thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
