What you should know about wasps
It’s a beautiful day, you’re outside enjoying your backyard with a cold beverage in hand when all of the sudden you notice wasps swarming you. They’re after your tasty beverage, perhaps nosing around your barbecue grill for remnants of last night’s meal. If you notice them entering a hole in the side of your house it could mean you have a serious problem in the form of a wasp nest.
Wasps can ruin your summer outdoor fun. They can also be more than just a nuisance. Let’s see why.
The wasp life cycle
Like bees, wasps are beneficial to gardeners as they help pollinate plants with their travels foraging for food. They also hunt for pest insects to feed their larvae, which is another benefit to gardeners. Wasps are, however, stinging insects and can be dangerous if they are building a nest in your home or garden.
Social wasps are colonizing insects that live in nests. The nests may be under the ground, suspended from the eaves of a house, or from the branches of a tree. Wasp colonies are formed around a queen, who lays all the eggs while the workers tend to the eggs and larvae. The worker wasps forage for food, which at first consists of pest insects that they feed to the wasp larvae back at the nest. In return, the larvae secrete sugary saliva that sustains the worker wasps as they continue to hunt and forage.
Most of the summer, wasps are too busy feeding the colony to bother you or your guests. But in the fall, as the colony has matured, the population has grown larger and food is scarce. The short wasp life span is about to come to an end as the worker wasps have served their purpose. Many times they seek out fermenting plant sap or fruit. This can make them intoxicated and increases their aggressiveness even more. Now the wasps are aggressively after any source of food available, which happens to be your cold beverage.
Should you remove a wasp nest yourself?
You may have wondered if it’s safe to remove a wasp nest yourself. The short answer is no.
It can be dangerous to attempt to remove a wasp nest from your home yourself. Though there are chemicals available that seem to be up to the task, wasp nest removal is best left to the professionals for important safety reasons. Wasps are capable of repeatedly stinging you, your pets, or your family if annoyed. They will defend their nest and queen, often aggressively and with little provocation. In addition, the chemicals you use could harm you or the environment instead of the wasps if used incorrectly.
Pest control professionals like us at Pest Writers Pest Control Company know how to safely and effectively use chemicals to remove and control pests around humans and pets. In the case of wasps, we know how to remove the pests at their source: the nest.
Knowing the difference between the wasp species and the best way to control them is something we are trained to do. Just because you can see a nest, doesn’t mean you should tackle the removal of this aggressive pest yourself.
Many times the nest isn’t visible though you can see the wasps zooming in and out of an opening and know it’s there. Blasting wasp or hornet spray into the hole does not affect the nest itself; it just makes the wasps find another way out. Unfortunately, many times their new exit is through the main living area of the home, which could present risks to you and your family. Where there is a hidden nest, it is definitely time to call the professionals.
What can be done to get rid of wasps?
The first step is to keep any barbecue utensils or grills cleaned and covered as well as clean up any food or garden vegetables and fruit that may become a food source. But sometimes, wasps just keep appearing.
At Pest Writers Pest Control Company, we have the training to deal with every kind of pest, including wasps. We will remove the wasps without risking your own safety or that of your family. We will also advise you on how to prevent wasps from returning.
Rather than get involved in a potentially dangerous task like wasp nest removal, it makes sense to trust the experts.
Don’t let wasps ruin your outdoor fun. If you have a wasp problem, give us a call and we’ll take care of them quickly and safely.
