Getting rid of wasp infestation on your own
Identify the wasp
If you have wasp infestation it is advised to first identify the type of wasp that you are having at your home. This will help in the extermination task because wasp species behave differently according to their origin and environment. There are two way you can detect them and they are by their appearance and the shape or configuration of their nests. If the nest is umbrella shaped and hung upside down by a wick you can safely assume it is the paper wasp. If the nest is located under your garden or burrows made by rodents or found in heap of logs or tree cavity then it would be yellow jacket. This is one is dangerous because it attacks without provocation. If you see globular nests the size of a football hoisted up on the upper storey or on a tree branch you can safely determine that it is the hornet, which is equally dangerous when provoked. The Mud Dauber wasp or solitary wasp is easy to identify because it is not social and it builds nest made of mud on walls, windows, and other hard surfaces. This one you can safely reject as a docile wasp, though it will sting if you disturb its horn shaped nest where it keeps a solitary larvae along with its feed, dead spiders.
You can also identify the wasps by their color patterns and facial structure. Yellow jackets has yellow and black marks on their body while hornets have black and white marking, paper wasps is mostly brown with some black marking and the mud dauber is very easy to identify because it is either metallic green or metallic blue with a non-existent waist. These identifications are important for the extermination of wasps as you would be well prepared to face the consequences.
