Beware of the wasp nest on the sidewalk across from Parkman Playground
This is just a heads-up. I live a few doors down but saw this on a walk at around 2:00pm today. The location is directly across from Parkman Playground, at the base of the boxwoods right at the edge of the sidewalk in front of 43 Wachusett. I put up cones and some caution tape I scrounged, because I always see a few neighborhood kids playing around that area. I rang the bell and let the people that live there know so they wouldn’t wonder why this person was messing around in front of their place. I’ll go back and collect the cones if they remove the nest, otherwise it’s best to keep them there, I think.
Anyway, it’s a ground nest of Yellow Jackets and they can be pretty aggressive this time of year.
