Chances are as you step outside on a sunny day during the summer months you'll spot wasps flying here and there. You don't want them stinging you or your kids, so what pest control services or techniques do you use to get rid of these stinging insects?
And how do you know when to put those techniques to work?
Normally you only see a few wasps flying around. They don't have a habit of flying around in groups, or formations like Canadian geese. But sometimes you do find a large number of these insects flying, and even crawling, around one particular location.They're often entering and leaving some hole near that area. Inside that hole is where they build their nest. Or, if there isn't a hole nearby, they fly to, and crawl all over, a nest they have hanging from an overhang of a building.
The occasional wasp flying around is nothing to worry about. They're not interested in you, other than flying clear so they don't get too close. Those wasps are about their daily business of collecting food for the nest. They fly away, find the food for their young, and take that food back to the nest.They don't want anything to do with you.Mostly you only run into problems with wasps when they build their nests close to where you like to sit and relax.
Maybe they found a spot they considered ideal for their nest, and the location just happens to be right above your favorite patio chair. Maybe they've built their nest near an entrance to your home, and you can't get in or out without dodging them.Or the wasps decided to build their nest right where the children play all the time.When you find these situations you know the time is here for an application of wasp pest control techniques.If you don't want to wait until those wasps sting somebody before you take action, you want to find the wasp nest.
Don't bother with the bugs as they fly around. Maybe you can knock them out of the air with a well-aimed shot of wasp control spray. But more likely you'll miss, and at worst you'll just make the pest mad.You don't want to make a flying wasp mad.Look for those places where you see a lot of these insects coming and going. They're moving to and from the nest delivering food, and heading out for more.You want to apply your wasp defense tactics at the nest where the bug's population is largest. Get a good wasp spray, one that shoots a stream out ten or twelve feet.Spray the nest if it's hanging out in the open.
As soon as you see no activity knocks the nest down, and discards it. Those wasps won't be a problem anymore.If the nest is inside a hole you'll need a double barrel technique to get rid of the wasps. First spray the area around the hole, and squirt some into the hole. Then wait until the wasps stop coming out of the entrance. Next use a dust. Squirt it into the hole so it forms a cloud in the space around the nest. You're all done.
The wasps won't live long after the dust settles.Just be aware that when you push the button for that first squirt of spray you'll make those critters real mad. And they'll come swarming away from the nest trying to find you. Stay well back from the nest because those bugs are on the warpath, and they're after your hide.Knowing where to find the source of wasps is key to applying pest control techniques that stop these stinging pests from flying around your space. And using the right insecticide formulations helps make sure you, or the children, don't get stung.
