A small paper wasp nest with open hexagonal cells and several wasps on it, attached to a brick wall just below a weathered gray plastic outdoor electrical outlet cover.

This small paper wasp nest was built directly under an outdoor electrical outlet cover on a brick wall at a Plano home, with several wasps guarding the comb and capped cells. Our tech handled the nest so the homeowner could use the outlet again without risking a sting. Outlet covers, light fixtures and eaves are favorite wasp spots, so they are worth checking regularly.
