Wasps construct their nests in various locations, including eaves, tree branches, attics, and even within wall voids. These nests, made of a paper-like substance produced from chewed wood pulp, can rapidly grow in size, housing hundreds or even thousands of wasps. The presence of a wasp nest near your home can become a considerable concern, especially if it's a species known for aggressiveness, such as yellow jackets or hornets. Disturbing a nest can lead to painful stings, and in some cases, severe allergic reactions.
