Wasps Chewing Your Teak Furniture? They're Harvesting Wood Fiber for Nests

Wasps and hornets strip soft wood for nest-building. Your unoiled teak is a perfect source.

Stop the Damage

• Paint with carbaryl solution (Sevin, Bug-B-Gon) per label. Let dry before use.
• Or use pyrethrin (organic, slower kill).

Either treatment deters them. The wood isn't being eaten—just harvested. Treat the surface, and they'll move on.
