Mud Dauber Control

Messy nests, hidden problems.

Mud daubers aren’t like other wasps. They’re solitary builders, crafting tube-like mud nests on walls, eaves, and garages. While they’re less aggressive than other stinging insects, their nests can attract more problematic pests and create an unsightly mess around your home.

Did you know?

Mud daubers often paralyze spiders and seal them inside their nests as food for their young.

Why mud daubers invade

These wasps seek sheltered spots with easy access to mud and food. You’ll often find their nests in covered entryways, sheds, and attics. While they don’t attack in swarms like yellow jackets, their presence can be a sign of spider activity nearby.
