Buzz, buzz! Wasps are most active during the warmer months. Depending on the species, wasp nests can be papery, round and as big as a football! They can also look similar to a honeycomb or small, tunnel-shaped nests.

When these nests are near entrances, windows, porches, or inside your home, they can pose a real risk.
