Are Mud Daubers Aggressive?
Wasps are well-known as one of the most aggressive types of stinging insects that you can encounter. This pest won’t hesitate to sting any individual or animal that strays too close to their nest, which can be difficult when the wasps hide their nests most of the time.
Mud daubers tend not to be as aggressive as other wasps, though they still can pack a painful sting. This sting may cause pain and a local reaction, but the venom may also be enough to trigger allergic reactions. People without known allergy issues may even experience an allergic reaction, especially if they receive many stings at once.
If you or another individual experiences trouble breathing or difficulty swallowing after being stung by a mud dauber, you should be seeking out medical attention immediately.
Does Anything Instantly Kill Mud Daubers?
While there isn’t a fool-proof way to instantly kill mud daubers and remove their nests, you can utilize DIY remedies or store-bought sprays to try and contain this pest on your property. However, you should always be cautious when going this route as some chemical treatments may be less than adequate and can rile up the wasps, making them prone to stinging. It is often better to invest in professional pest control if you want safe, instant removal of your mud dauber problem.
