Question By: Wasps don't often interact with people, but if provoked, they can sting. Wasp stings can be painful to all and threatening to those with allergies. If you've got a wasp problem, here is everything you need to know about these pesky insects, including how to get rid of wasps naturally, how to check for infestations, and how to kill wasps with homemade wasp kill.
Three main elements attract wasps to take up residence in your home or yard:
• Ideal nesting spots, such as eaves, gutters, and soffits that offer protection
• Sweet, nectar-filled flowers and plant life
• Food sources, such as garbage bags, pet food bowls, outdoor eating areas with crumbs or sticky spills, or an abundance of insects or spiders
What happens when you contact a professional wasp control expert? Here's the process the team here at Flick's follow to get rid of wasps:
1. Property Inspection
2. Destroy Wasp Nests
3. Apply Additional Yellow Jacket Treatments
4. Annual Yellow Jacket Control
There are a number of strategies for preventing wasps from building a nest in your home.
• Seal any cracks around doors and windows and repair any loose siding. Garbage cans attract wasps, so keep trash cans sealed.
• Fruit can attract wasps, so be mindful of where you plant fruit trees.
• Consider hanging fake wasp nests, as wasps will not build a nest near another colony.
• Use a homemade wasp trap to eliminate any wasps that may be scouting for a nesting site.
However, if you are noticing multiple wasps in your house or have spotted a nest inside or outside of your home, you have a potential problem on your hands. Flick Pest Control can help you with nest removal, keeping your home safe.
