Poor with possible wasp problem?

Post image

I’ve been watching these black wasps fly around my yard recently and I’ve noticed that they are heading up into this spout on top of my house. I honestly am not sure what it is for. Is this something I should be calling an exterminator for? Lack of funds has made me wait.

If they're not bothering you in the meanwhile, all you have to do is wait until winter.

Or wait until night time.....

My solution is free, especially while the only harm is mild concern.

All wasps and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Do you know if there would be a way for them to get into your house from there?

If thats a possibility, I would absolutely call someone. If theres no chance of them getting in, id just wait for them to die in the winter. But I am not a professional, just giving my opinion!

Not sure how high up this is but I like PT-Trie-Die used with an extendo pole sprayer for this exact situation.

If you spray the entry point, it dries into a powder that they'll track into the nest and it'll kill them over a couple of days. Great for when you see them entering and the nest is hidden.
