A paper wasp nest with many wasps and white capped cells hanging under a gray Milbank electrical box latch on a brick wall, next to a blue utility meter seal.

Paper wasps built an active nest directly under an exterior electrical box on a brick wall at this Frisco home, right next to the box latch and meter seal. The nest held many wasps and capped brood cells, making the box risky to open. Our tech treated and removed the nest so the utility box can be reached without disturbing a colony.
