My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Yellow Jackets

16 years ago

I suddenly have many yellow jacket wasps appearing inside my house. This was not a problem last week, when I only found a few wasps which is normal, but since yesterday morning I have probably swatted more than 20 wasps! I have no idea where they are coming from, though they seem to be confined to the lower level and are especially fond of one of the large windows there. The wasps are rather sluggish and are easily caught, but I'm afraid I will get stung one of these days, and as I'll soon be leaving town for a week, I also fear that there may be hundreds of wasps by the time I get back! I'd appreciate any advice on this problem. Thanks
