Plugging the entry hole will not solve the problem. The wasps will try to find another way out, which may be into your living space. If the hole is on the outside of your structure, and it is safe to do so, unplug it. If it is unsafe to unplug or you are not comfortable doing this, wait for our technician to arrive. If the hole is on the inside and was plugged to keep wasps from coming in your living space, do not unplug this. Some nests will break through interior walls or ceilings as they enlarge late in the season (usually late August/September). This can be dangerous. Close off the room and call us immediately.
