What to do about dirt daubers?

It may just be me or my region, but I am seeing a lot more daubers & nests this year than before

I like the fact that they paralyze spiders and entomb them in dirt to be eaten alive by the larvae. I hate spiders btw. Some joe max/Clorox mix dissolves their nest pretty easily. I’m of no help on how to keep them away.

Can't. They're forever making a mess of my stuff. Since I learned they love to kill spiders, they get a pass now.

Peppermint oil cut with water in a pump sprayer, spray about once a month

Go to your local pest control store or feed store and ask for a poison called Demon. Mix it in a pump sprayer and spray eaves and patio roof where nests are common. It will dry and leave a residue that keeps them away as long as its not washed off. Been effective for me for several years.

Definitely have the same problem. I hung a couple of sticky traps, seems to help temporarily. My dad just told me about mixing boric acid and apple juice and put it in a drink/beer can. Says it won’t kill them right away, but they bring the boric acid back to the nest and slowly kills them off. Works for wasps too.

Get a wooden carpenter bee trap that has a glass jar on the bottom. I was at a garden nursery today and they had about 10 of them hanging from their front covered porch. They were all almost full of mostly dirt daubers and wasps and some bees. There were hundreds of dead wasps, dirt daubers and carpenter bees in the glass jars. I think the traps are basically just a small square wooden box with a mason jar attached to the bottom. A simple hole the size of a carpenter bee hole is drilled in the side and bees, wasps and dirt daubers are attracted to the hole. I'm not sure what kills them once they are in the box. It was pretty impressive.
