Wasps invade homes at the onset of winter and seek shelter in protected areas like ceilings, eves, overhangs, barn, attics, and tree hallows. It is a naturally phenomena that goes in a cycle every year and ends when winter comes to a close. Most wasps perish during this time and only queen who is stronger survives to see another year and start building nest and hatching eggs. It goes like clockwork precision and is almost impossible to stop the process until you decide to call in an expert wasps removal Woodbridge like BBPP, and remove the nest. It should be noted that you cannot permanently get rid of wasps but only remove the nest and drive them away temporarily for a season.
How do you stop them by your own methods?
- You can block all entries in your home that wasps could find a way to drill through. Cover windows with weather strips, replace broken window panes, seal gaps in walls, roof, attic and barn, and you almost could have prevented them from attempting to nest.
- You know, wasps like eating both meat and sweets. Do not leave these food items on your kitchen counter, dining table, outdoor snack table, or any place in the open. Wasps are attracted to both the smell of sugary foods and meat and will make attempt to enter your home and hunt them.
- Some of the wasps like yellow jackets and hornets like to build their nests outdoors such as hole in the ground or burrows left by rodents. Here they will build nests where they will house thousands of them. This is potentially dangerous situation because you could tread on the ground and wake them up. If possible stop growing flowers that are with honey and bright in color. Fill the burrows and holes with dirt and also look for entry or exit points nearby as they are likely to build several nests and entry points.
- There are several homemade remedies like honey traps, water traps, or use non-toxic yellow jacket wasp repellent. A honey trap or water trap will work in small areas, and wasps are known to fly anywhere from275 meters to 915 meters for searching food. Keep the trap in their flying route and expect them to fall for it. They will be lured and buried in water or sweet syrup, but this will work only when you have few wasps living in a nest, that is at the beginning of nest building. The same goes to the non-toxic sprays etc.
- Perfume attracts wasps so avoid wearing perfume in their vicinity and avoid colorful dresses with floral pattern too.
It is not proved that these methods are 100% effective in exterminating wasps from household. As we said it may be good for half a dozen wasps but not for a colony with a strength of 500-1,000.
