When you see wasp activity in your property then you may safely assume that there certain things that attracts them to your home. The following 5 things could be them.
- Safe and warm shelter
Wasps do not like winter chill hence invade homes and find shelter in protected places like hidden wall cracks, insulations, and roofs. After fall only the queen survives and it takes charge of nest building so as to create a safe haven for its flock. Inside wall cracks and underneath sidings they find attractive locations for building nests. It is also a safe place for the queen to hibernate while the colony is safely snuggly inside these hollows. Choice place is not optional for them but will certainly pickup places where weather wood supply is nearby. for example paper wasps use wood pulp and saliva to build nests.
- Availability of insects
The queen and the workers come out of hibernation during winter at the onset of summer and go on food hunt such as a variety of insects. If you have a garden in your home then they got a big supply of insects for food and storage. This would also mean that insects in your garden or outdoors attract wasps to your home.
- Meat left on the dinner plate
Your leftover meat on the plate will attract wasps. Wasps will hunt for the protein food in your trash can, dining table or outdoors where you may have left the plate previous evening. It is a regular practice for families to dine outside by setting up barbeque where meat is the main food item scheduled for roasting. You can expect wasps to come over there to pick on the leftovers.
- Sugary and sweet foods
During winters wasps would hunt for sugary foods instead of protein rich meats. If you have fruit trees in your garden they will pick on ripe fruits on trees or fruits that have fallen on the ground. Either way you will have wasps swarming your ground and you will be caught between the wasps and their sugary foods.
- Bright colored flowers in your garden
If you have plenty of flower plants at home it will not take much time for wasps to make an appearance. Two things about flowers attract them and they are nectar and the sweet smell of the flowers. This would also mean that if you are wearing flowery perfume you will be their target.
