Wasp

 That’s a smart instinct—wasps can definitely be a sign to check things out. If you’ve seen them inside before, it’s worth doing a little inspection outside to make sure they haven’t built a nest nearby again. They tend to return to familiar spots if the conditions are right.

Here’s a quick checklist you can follow when you go outside:

🐝 Wasp Check Tips

• Look under eaves, porch ceilings, and railings—those are favorite nesting spots.
• Check around sheds, playhouses, or outdoor furniture.
• Inspect any cracks or holes in siding or near windows.
• Watch for wasps flying in and out of a specific spot repeatedly—that’s a sign of a nest.

If you do spot a nest and it’s small, spraying it early in the morning or late evening (when they’re less active) is usually safest. If it’s large or hard to reach, it might be worth calling a pest control service.

Would you like help finding a local pest control company or tips on safe wasp spray options? Or maybe some ideas for making your yard more inviting so it feels easier to step outside regularly?
