Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, deck rails, playsets, and porch ceilings. They are slender, with long legs that dangle in flight, and you will often see them coming and going from the same spot.

They are not aggressive from a distance, but bump a nest and they can defend it quickly. That is not ideal over a front door or kid’s play area. BRD removes existing nests safely and treats key structures so wasps are less likely to rebuild in the same places.
