Natural Ways for Wasp Control
Wasps unlike bees generally die during winter season, they are not at all bees and they prey on other insects as well as bees as their source of nourishment. Wasps can attack anyone that crosses its path without inducing any provocation in their part and they can repeatedly sting anyone. Not only are they a nuisance at home but may also harm children that are around them. That is why wasp control is encouraged in order to exterminate these pests. Chemical insecticides are usually used in order to eliminate this kind of troubles but a bigger problem may arise for the environment, because insecticides if not used properly may be more likely to spread on health problems not only to human beings but for all the living organisms close by. The first thing to consider in protecting those who lives inside the home is prevention; always make sure that all entrances and sealed and that the house should be defended by screened doors of windows.
Food sources most especially those that are good sources of proteins should be covered as wasps are attracted just by the smell. Also avoid swatting as these wasps are most attracted by their fellow’s pheromone which are released when wasps are squashed, so the best thing to do is to avoid them and get one’s self away on nearby nests. Another thing to avoid is wearing perfumes and bright colors because these are believed to attract the wasps thinking that they are going for a flower. Natural ways of wasp control also includes setting up a trap against these pests. There are traps that are commercially available or anyone could just make their own.
It is important to remember that traps should be emptied daily to prevent the wasps from escaping and creating another swarm. Finally, the most drastic of measures in naturally eliminating wasps comes in the form of nest destruction as this may cause the wasps to either die down of move to another place away from the destructive hands of humans. In locating the nest it is important to note of the number of swarms around the area as this may point out that the nest is nearby. In this process of total destruction, it is most recommended to wear many layers of clothing on top of any part of the body, a head cover is also imperative to protect from possible retaliations. Wasps take their rest during nightfall, so it is advisable to consider the attack at this time as most of them are inside their nest. Do not use yellow light as this cause some attraction to wasps and rouse them from their sleep. Slowly approach the area and try not to make too much of unnecessary movements as this will agitate the wasps nearby. Wasp control may be quite an intimidating task but safety should always be the priority that is why environmentalists and health experts discourage anyone from resorting to chemically eliminating pests such as wasps. The most harm may just be inflicted on the individual doing the spray rather than on the target.
what is the best/inexpensive way to get rid of a hive nest?
Some wasps built a nest in my gutter. I can see their hive b/c it sticks out. What do I buy to get rid of these pests w/o having to call an exterminator?
and how should I proceed to get rid of them? (i.e should i wear tough clothes and just poke their nest?)
Don’t poke at the nest. That will only provoke them. Buy some wasp killer spray at Home Depot. It sprays about 25 feet. You can be away from the hive and spray it without getting stung.
Warning: 'Tis the season jump-off, if you think this weekend to tackle outdoor home improvement project, you may want a little scouting before You begin. If your project will take close to a bee or wasp nest hidden, you could wind up managing more than you thought.
