Mud daubers, also known as dirt daubers, are a type of solitary wasp that build nests out of mud. These nests are often found on the eaves of homes, sheds, and other structures. While mud daubers are not typically aggressive towards humans, they can become a nuisance when their nests are built in close proximity to people.
There are a number of different ways to repel mud daubers. One common method is to use a commercial repellent. These repellents are typically made with ingredients that are designed to deter mud daubers from building nests. Another method is to remove any potential nesting sites. This may involve removing leaves and debris from eaves and gutters, and sealing any cracks or holes in walls or siding.
