Question
I can see insects going in and out of one spot. The nest is not fully visible. I am worried about blocking the hole or spraying during the day.
Pest Or Not answer
Avoid blocking the entrance. Hidden deck or wall nests can become more aggressive if sealed while active. Keep people away from the entry point and consider professional removal.
