What are the signs of a dirt dauber infestation?
Signs of a dirt dauber infestation include seeing mud nests attached to walls, eaves, or other structures around your home. Dirt daubers are long, slender wasps that are typically black or metallic blue. You may also notice an increase in the number of spiders, as dirt daubers hunt and paralyze them to feed their larvae.

Where might you find dirt daubers?
In the home, dirt daubers are commonly found in garages, sheds, and other outdoor structures. They build their nests on walls, ceilings, and under eaves. Outdoors, dirt daubers are often found in gardens, under rocks, and in other sheltered areas.
Geographically, dirt daubers are found throughout the United States and in many other parts of the world. They thrive in warm climates and are particularly prevalent in areas with abundant insect populations.
When are dirt dauber invasions likely to occur?
Dirt dauber invasions can occur at any time of the year, but they are often more noticeable during the warmer months when they are more active. During these times, dirt daubers are more likely to be seen building nests and hunting for insects to feed their larvae.
