Hello, we opened our window to find the side slat filled with pieces of grass and cocoon type pods. Can you identify what we might have living in our window and recommend how to safely remove them. I attached a photograph for you to see. Thank you!

I think the nests were made by the grass carrying wasp. To remove the nests use a broom and sweep the track free.
