If what you have are dirt daubers, they are solitary critters and they dont hang around the nest much after the nest is built and the eggs are lain. However if there are many on a nest it is probably wasps. You can knock down the nest at night or burn them out. If you have a fogger that will work too. Just need to fog until they drop. than daubers. Big Jim James A.
