Mud Dauber Control in Jacksonville, FL

Mud Dauber Control built for Jacksonville homes

Jacksonville sits where the St. Johns River meets the Atlantic, and the humidity that builds along that estuary corridor gives mud daubers reliable nesting conditions from spring well into fall. These solitary wasps begin scouting for sheltered spots in April, favoring soffits, porch ceilings, garage door frames and utility enclosures where they can press mud tubes against a dry surface undisturbed. Activity peaks through the wet season, June into September, when the roughly 53 inches of annual rainfall Jacksonville receives keeps soil workable and mud easy to gather. By late fall they wind down, but the December through February cold snaps that push other pests into wall voids and storage spaces create the same sheltered cavities daubers will reuse the following spring. A year-round program interrupts that cycle before it restarts.
