What after wasp nest is removed? Removing wasp nest is not enough to prevent recurrence and you will have to make sure that new nests do not crop up on your walls, trees and basements. For this you will have to do the following:
- Wasps always come back to the same place to build or rebuild nests that they have previously occupied. You should remove all traces of the nest and keep the surface squeaking clean so wasps go away to some other place. Removing all tell tale signs that a nest was there before can prevent wasps from building a new nest.
- You can hang fake wasp nests in place and deceive new entrants from building a nest. Wasps characteristically do not build nests where another wasp nest is already in place. Wasps will go away when they see the fake nest and you can breathe easily.
- It is important to prevent entry and to that effect seal all the entry points. Close windows and curtains and also fix gaps under doors with door sweep. If you have windows with broken panes replace them immediately. You can also fix net screen or wire mesh over windows so it prevents wasps from entering while facilitating smooth air flow.
- If there are holes or crevices in the walls seal them with strong adhesions, cement, caulk or spray foam.
- Place traps honey traps or strong scented plants or essential oils
- Inspect premises periodically to detect mice infestation and remove it immediately
What to do if you are stung by wasps?
If you are stung by wasps the offended place must be washed with soap water or disinfectant which will remove any leftover venom. You can apply antihistamine cream over the sting site which you can buy over the counter. This will soothe the pain and prevent the spread of venom. You can also apply ice to reduce swelling and pain. Vinegar is another antiseptic you can douse cotton with and apply on the sting injury.
After effect of a sting will depend on which wasp species stung you. Degree of pain and agony will depend on that fact. The yellow jacket wasp’s stings are more painful due to the frenetic mode of sting delivery. Yellow jackets can pump venom continuously with rapid stings and cause scalding pain while the hornets with their bigger size are capable of causing death with multiple stings by a group. Such incidents should be reported to medical emergency and victim taken to the hospital immediately. If the victim is allergic to wasp venom the case could become extremely serious.
