Problems with Wasps

In Canada you will find 4 common types of wasps inhabiting your homes and they are:

  • Paper wasps
  • Yellow jackets
  • Solitary wasps
  • Hornets

The issue with wasp is that it is exaggeratedly aggressive and territorial. They attack you because they think that you are a threat to their nests and babies. They are fierce when they attack human, pets and anything that looks like a threat and cause severe pain and acute allergic reactions in people who already have allergic. Once they have targeted your home they will build nests in places like under eaves, rafters, window frames, under the deck, trees, under railing and cavities in walls and trees. Wasps use a mixture of wood fibers and saliva to build catacomb like nests. Here they store their babies and food, and are constantly on prowl to achieve their tasks.

If you are infested with yellow jackets they can be big trouble because they like to invade your outdoor activities like picnic, BBQ party, and social gatherings. Smell of food attracts them and they like sweet syrupy food items. They are also attracted to flowery perfume and bright colored clothing and you could become a victim if you are wearing any of these. They also scavenge in trash bins compost piles to salvage food.

Yellow jacket wasps, often confused with honeybees, become problematic when they detect a nearby food source. Yellow jacket wasps will invade picnics, outdoor gatherings, compost piles, and garbage cans. Yellow jackets scavenge areas that offer protein and sugary foods. They will also go for BBQ and collect meat which they feed their larvae to develop. You have to be pretty careful when they are around and find a way to get rid of them so you could carry out your outdoor activities without unwanted interruption and intimidation.
