Wasps help keep balance in our eco system by acting as conduit in the pollination of plants. Most of us think that they are harmless as they buzz around in our garden and sometimes fly past our ears and in to the kitchen. But you will get a surprise when you unknowingly step on their nest built underground in your garden in the form of a fierce sting or stings. That can be very painful and beyond tolerance and may result into high allergies if you are allergic to wasp venom. If you have knowledge or wasps or read about them, you would know that yellow jackets and hornets sometimes build nests underground. They mostly choose the burrows dug by rodents and use them as the breeding ground for their young. These are well concealed ground nests that you cannot sight at first instance. Wasps attack when they think their nest is in danger and your stepping on them is the trigger they are waiting for. If you have detected the presence of wasps in your ground you should immediately call Wasp Removal Vaughan, such as BBPP, the best pest control company around town and get rid of them.
Use soap water to get rid of ground wasps
Wasps are hard to get rid by novice attempts as they may work temporarily or cause disasters like wasps stings to family members. Yellow jackets and hornets build nests underground and they may be thousands in numbers in a single nest. When rodents leave their burrows yellow jackets and hornets take over and will build a network of nests invisible to your eyes on the ground. You could only spot them when they come of out of their nest for preying on insects or collecting honey. Ground wasps can prevent you from walking on your grass freely or disturb a picnic by family members. There are a few home grown methods that you can use to get rid of them and you should be absolutely careful in handling the process. Wearing protective clothing is important when you approach the nest. Soap water is reported to be effective in pinning the wasps on to the ground and by drowning them with hosed water you can exterminate them. Before pouring the soap water down the underground nest spread a cloth used in landscaping over the nest and pour dish soap mixed water by puncturing a hole in the center. That should keep wasps stuck to the ground and you can drown the wasps with buckets of water or jet from your garden hose. This method may work if the numbers are less. There is also a possibility of the wasps have many exits built on the ground nearby. You should watch for this and cover them with soil so wasps don’t escape through them.
Dangers of DIY wasp removal methods
What we said may look easy but not easy for everyone and not easy when the nest is bigger and wasps are in thousands. The wasps could attack you even before you have started your DIY evacuation method, or some of the wasps might come out from one of the many exits that you have not covered tightly. Wasps have the ability to dig loose soil and extricate themselves. Bigger nests underground spells danger to family members and pets, so you must be careful and sure before you do it.
