Threats of Mud Dauber Infestation

While mud daubers are solitary wasps, not generally known to show aggression towards people, they are still considered a nuisance animal. Although non-aggressive, you might not want mud daubers flying around your backyard get together or your business’ outdoor seating.

On commercial properties, mud dauber sightings may deter guests from spending their money at your venue. Restaurants with outdoor porch seating, barn venues, farmers’ markets and outdoor festivals can suffer from the presence of flying, stinging animals. Even though those mud dauber wasps help to control brown and black widow spiders, responsible homeowners don’t want to host outdoor events with wasps of any kind in attendance.
