I'm just glad this nest was abandoned when I popped that piece of

Hope you got their entrance sealed. They tend to come back to the same
spot, holes in wall or ground.


This house had the foam insulation installed by drilling holes in the
outside walls but some of the cavities were not hit so I found two
nests and both were in the cavities where there was no insulation.
Here is a pic of what happens to that foam insulation after a while.
It doesn't do a very good job.

That room is a lot warmer now that I have it insulated properly.

Be careful that you don't set up conditions for rot to set in. I was
considering the same thing before reading how blown-in wall insulation
keeps wood from drying. Termite heaven!
