Mud wasp nest?

Question

I've already tried a trap and it didn't work. Since they are mud wasps, I cant find the nest. I've tried top of the line bee spray, and doused the area about 5 times, and it still did nothing. HOW CAN I GET THEM AWAY. By the way, it is in the middle of my paitball course in the woods.

Answer 1

scrape it off  keep an eye on it when they start coming back scrape off again

Answer 2

I've never been stung by one in 42 years but I hear that they can sting.  Did you know that they stuff their nests full of paralyzed spiders?  Their young hatch and feed on the spiders.  I don't know about you, but I'd rather deal with mud daubers.  Here's a good link.

Answer 3

You can look up info on them, they sound like mud "daubers", so that would be a good place to start, however everything I can find on them say they are not really that harmful, and even beneficial.  Most of what I found states to knock down the mud 'house' they build, but if there is available mud around and plenty of insect food for them, they will only move a little farther away.  Good luck! (Maybe you can think of them as an extra obstacle in your paintball course?!)
