Today I noticed a wasp coming and going in my living room. More precisely, it goes into the wall just next to the light. There is not too much room there and I don’t really have visibility, so I can’t tell what this wasp-like insect is doing there. Also, even tho I think it’s one, maybe it’s one at a time? Not sure.

I did check some videos on the topic and maybe this could be the beginning of nest? Since, I wouldn’t want something like that in my home, I am looking for ideas on how to deal with this. It seems like a tricky spot to me due to the electric wires connections, in the sense that spraying something there could be dangerous.

Anyways, if you have experience and/or ideas on what to do, please help!

    That looks more like a mud dauber, which are solitary and do not eat wood.

    (Then again, I am only familiar with some NE US insects, and poster is probably not in the US)

      It does look like a mud dauber and, for what it’s worth, they don’t attack humans like wasps (at least where I am). If it’s not doing any damage you could possibly even let it be and they’ll be gone after the summer.
