Bees and wasps are sensitive to the same pesticides, but bees don't hang out under the eaves so they'd probably be okay. The safest thing to do is knock off the nests while they're still tiny. The nest-making season isn't that long so just making it part of the daily routine for a while might not be so bad.

The best product for this is probably a broom--hopefully it's not a very tall house!

I agree with Fori. If the nests are near places you frequent just knock them off when they're small. But wasps aren't an unmitigated negative. They are important predators of pest species and they are also pollinators so if one can, practically, cohabit with them one should try to do so.

Thanks to both of you. Luckily it was small and the house is only one-story. It was only a few feet from the front door, so to protect my family I did need to dispatch it. I love bees, but have been stung by a wasp before - it got under my shirt and stung me twice. Very painful for several days.

Thanks, again!

I don't blame you. They may be "good bugs" but I'd rather they nested somewhere else. Next to the door is not okay!

Thank you for your spam input, Wendy. I hope readers will realize that any company that needs to resort to this sort of advertising is probably not very good and may actually be ethically challenged.
