Pay attention to what is hidden on the window frames
It has always been said that in spring nature awakens. And during this beautiful time of the year many insects enter our homes. These, noticing the open windows, cannot help but enter. Some of these insects may even have created real nests on the window frames.

And it is precisely these small mud structures that are actually full of paralyzed spiders. And therefore spiders that can get trapped in these pieces of mud that are actually real nests.

First of all, it is very important to underline that these insects are so called because they are able to build very special nests. Nests in the shape of small wineskins surrounded by mud balls.
The advice, to eliminate these nests, is to intervene during the night as these wasps are less active during the night hours. In fact, it should be emphasized that even if they are relatively quiet insects, when they feel they are under threat they tend to attack and therefore sting.
If you notice the presence of mason wasps in the house and want to eliminate them, the ideal solution could be to use chemical insecticides to be sprayed directly on the affected area. And in this specific case on the window frames letting them act.
But alternatively, the use of some useful natural remedies can also be considered. For example, it could be an excellent solution to fill a bowl with sugar water and add vinegar or dish soap inside. In fact, wasps will be attracted by this sugary substance. But they will still be stunned by the vinegar.
The nests, on the other hand, can be moved to the garden. But in this case the advice is to ask for help from real experts in the field. This will prevent the nests in question from breaking.
What to know about the nest of mason wasps
The nests of mason wasps, as already stated above, are built by these friendly insects using clay or mud transported thanks to their large mandibles. These have a particular and characteristic pincer shape and are used to kill prey.
The mud in question is shaped and subsequently welded through the secretion produced by the mouth of the insects. And once shaped and welded, the nest obtained will have the characteristic shape of an amphora.
The nest in question, if the wasp manages to make several trips, can be built in just one day. And once it is finished inside, it will be able to accommodate up to a maximum of 3-5 cells, each of which can then contain an egg.
As stated earlier, each nest of mason wasps can contain many paralyzed spiders. These are captured by the female bee. The female acts by sticking her spine on the spiders. And inoculating the poison thanks to which he will be able to paralyze the spiders that one by one will then be placed in the nest. Their task will be to ensure the survival of the future race of mason wasps.
