Wasp Nest In Your Yard? What You Should Do
Posted on: 8 September 2022
Wasps are one of those flying pests that build a nest, help to pollinate plants and flowers, and will sting if they feel threatened. If you are stung by these pests, unlike bees, these pests can sting you multiple times over and over again. Bees usually die after they have stung someone, but wasps can live on and will be able to sting over and over, which is why these pests are so dangerous. Wasps can build a nest just about anywhere, but you may find them concealed in places such as beneath a table, in the corn of your home's siding, or on your children's play equipment. If you have these pests, you need to be careful when getting rid of them. Read on for some tips to help you.
Stay Away
If you find that you have a nest and the wasps are swarming, you need to keep your distance. They can get agitated easily when you get too close to their nest and will sting you. The sting from one may not do too much harm unless you are allergic, but if you are stung multiple times, it can be dangerous for anyone. You should stay away from them and wait until after dark when these pests are not flying about or busy gathering for their colony.
Spray The Nest With Pesticide
After dark, you should spray the nest with a pesticide that will kill these pests. Soak the nest, kill the wasps inside, and get rid of the nest as well. Soaking the nest will reach the inside residents and kill the entire colony. Once the nest falls down, you can soak it further to ensure all of the wasps inside are dead. You should wait until after dark to do this to ensure the wasps are inside, which gives you more of a chance to get rid of the colony and to help ensure nobody is harmed by these pests.
Call A Professional
Call a residential wasp pest control company to help you get rid of these wasps from your yard or from your home. They can be dangerous and if you have a large colony to get rid of, it can be more difficult. Hire a professional to help you do this and prevent injury to you or your family.
If you have wasps in your yard or in or around your home, they can become a nuisance that makes it difficult to even be outside. Hire a professional to help you and use the tips above as well.
