Outside Your Home • Focus on structural issues.Check for dry rot; identify poor drainage around the foundation and leaking faucets or pipes that create excess moisture, promoting pest problems.Insect-Specific IPM Tips Paper wasps—Paper wasps control many caterpillars, aphids, and other pests; they sting primarily when defending their nest.Knock down nests early in the season and scrape away attachment sites. Use a stick,broom, or strong stream of water. Check weekly; repeat the process if necessary.Carpenter bees—Carpenter bees are gentle,beneficial pollinators. Keep trim wood painted or varnished; fill holes with putty in the fall and repaint or varnish; replace tunneled boards when they are no longer structurally sound.
