Today I noticed a wasp coming and going in my living room. More precisely, it goes into the wall just next to the light. There is not too much room there and I don't really have visibility, so I can't tell what this wasp-like insect is doing there. Also, even tho I think it's one, maybe it's one at a time? Not sure.
I did check some videos on the topic and maybe this could be the beginning of nest? Since, I wouldn't want something like that in my home, I am looking for ideas on how to deal with this. It seems like a tricky spot to me due to the electric wires connections, in the sense that spraying something there could be dangerous.
Anyways, if you have experience and/or ideas on what to do, please help!
Turn off the breaker that feeds that light. If you don't see any activity, get up on a ladder and listen. If you don't hear insect noise knock on the ceiling near the light and listen again. If clear, look for a screw that is holding up the conical shaped cover, that should be a decorative piece that can be slid down the pole. You should then be able to see what you are dealing with.
You can use wasp spray up into the gangbox if you want. The suggestion to use painters tape to cover hole under the decorative cover is a good one. Just be sure that you allow the wasp spray to completely dry before turning on the breaker again.
I have approached this kind of situation similarly.
Good luck!
