Solitary wasps, depending on their species, will create their nests in a variety of places. Some build their nests in the ground or under fallen trees or tree stumps, others up higher in trees or under roof eaves, and still others inside of our homes behind wall voids, in chimneys, or attics.

While solitary wasps build individual nests, many of the same species may choose to create nests in a similar space, increasing their presence in that area.

Solitary wasps find their way onto properties that fulfill their basic needs. They are opportunistic insects and will take advantage of any food, water, and shelter we provide them. If solitary wasps do ever decide to call your yard or house their home, it is best to immediately contact a home pest control professional. They will be able to safely remove the solitary wasps and put into place the services needed to prevent their return.

As their name suggests, solitary wasps are a species of wasps that live by themselves instead of together in large colonies. Many of the same species of solitary wasps may live in the same area but will create individual nests. Most solitary wasps are predators, hunting insects and spiders to feed themselves and/or their developing young. In this way, they help control nuisance insect populations. Species that also feed on plant nectar help to pollinate some plants and crops as well.
