Not in DMV area - Airbnb 2 week rental and there are bees (paper wasps) that have gotten in to the unit

[Anonymous]

The place is close to woods and a river but there seems to be a nest close to the house, and some of the bees have made their way in the house.

Thoughts? Worth a call to Airbnb?

Call to Airbib? For bees in the house? No. But if you see a nest on/very near the house, I think it's worth a message to the host.

If 2 bees had gotten into the house and died, what would you want the host to do?

DId you read my post? I said IF OP can find the NEST and it's on or very close to the house, that's when I'd ask the host to remove it.

No, but depending on the number of bees that are getting in (any idea how or where?) I might message the host and see if they know more--like the likely nest spot, etc.

You’d be comfortable with removing a nest if it’s in the woods?

I would just kill the ones in the house and move on with my life.

Hope you are not allergic to bee stings. it could actually kill you.

Let the host know. Could be dangerous to future renters.

Are they bees, hornets, or wasps.

My family members are very inaccurate about what a bee is. It matters for finding the nest.

Use Google Lens on a dead one if it is reasonably intact.

PP. I see you put wasps in the title. Be precise when reporting the hazard.

Wasps may be more likely to have a nest attached to the house.

Here's a reddit thread related to this.

Paper wasps are good for the environment. Sad that city people want to kill them. I think one should expect some nature when they are staying around nature

Agreed but, the house needs to be bugproof. And, the Reddit thread recommends removing nests in places where the wasps may get startled (doors, etc.). Because they may attack unpredictably.

Most humans everywhere are intolerant of insect colonies in/around their living areas.

I swear you are misreading my post on purpose.

you call the host and they can deal w/ it. What do you do if that happens at your own home do you call the police?
