I have a mud wasp nest on my porch, how do they make the nest, what is it made out of?

Question

And need good ideas to get rid of nest...

Answer 1

The queen makes it out of her spit usually. It looks really ugly and drab. We get wasp nests all the time under our eaves. Go to a hardware store and pickup wasp and hornet spray. The less expensive kind works just as well at the pricier version (I've done a side by side comparison).
Wear goggles if the eaves are really high up so the spray doesn't get in your eyes, otherwise it's not necessary.
Wait till early morning somewhere between 2:30 am -6:00 am when it's very dark outside to spray. (That's when they sleep.) Have a pole/broomstick handle and plastic bag handy. Aim a steady stream at the nest until no more wasps fall out of the nest usually 3 min depending on the size of the nest. Golf ball sized nests are small in my book.

Just spray until no more wasps fall out of the nest. Wait a few minutes and knock down the nest. The stem is slightly sticky so it takes some force. Wrap it up in a bag and throw away.

Answer 2

Look at the hardware or home improvement store for a spray can of quick insecticide. They make ones just for spraying a wasp nest from 10-15 feet away. Wait until they are all in the nest at night, and spray it. Kills them all immediately, so they can't even get far enough to sting you.

Next day you can scrape it off with a stick, and then clean the area with some soapy water and a brush.

Answer 3

Mud dobers dont sting but fill their nest with living spiders for their larva to eat.

Answer 4
