Expert Response
I cannot say for sure that is a mud dauber nest. I would first spray it with a wasp/hornet spray. If nothing comes out, use a long board or stick to touch the nest and see if anything comes out. If so leave the building until they calm down. Then spray again. You might us a fogger insect spray. If nothing comes out, start to remove it but still watch for insects. I would put a tarp or plastic on the floor to catch the dirt.
Good luck,
