Wasps’ infestation can be hard to tackle for weak hearts as wasps are able to strike terror in the minds of peace loving people. Preventing them is the best way that you can get rid of them and retains peace, but before finding ways to rid them it is wise to know what attracts wasps to your homes.

Human habitats make cozy living space as your insulated walls, hidden cracks, crevices and cavities are terrific baits for wasps to come in to your home and make them their own. They find refuge in these places and build their nest and the male wasps die after impregnating the queen and she sets about building her colony knowing that her domain is under safe haven. If you already have wasps infestation then it is time that you call professional wasp control Vaughan such as BBPP, the best wasp extermination service around.
How to prevent them from building nests?
- Remove things they like from your home
Wasps are attracted by sweet foods such as fruits, soda cans, and fallen fruits from your garden. They also eat insects that clamor your garden. They are also attracted to brightly hued flowers in your garden as it is the source of nectar for them. Even your sweet scented perfume could attract them. So remove these items from the vicinity. This does not mean that you altogether do away with these things but keep a check on them. Pick the fruits, avoid wearing sweet scented perfume, and do not grow bright colored flower plants. You could also check for holes on the ground where they are likely to nestle. If found cover them with soil. Grown plants that repel instead and wasps have no love for the smell of lemongrass, thyme, citronella, penny-royal, and eucalyptus.
- Use wasp decoys
Wasps won’t habitat homes that already have a wasp’s nest. You can use this trait to your advantage and plant fake wasp’s nests or decoys at vantage points around your home. Since wasps are territorial they would go away someplace else to build their nest.
- Remove trash, get rid of water source
You must remove trash regularly and cover trash bins with tight lids. Take out trash the same day because they will come looking for food in them. if you have rotten wood lying in your exterior remove it immediately and make sure to throw away fallen fruits from your garden trees. Another thing you can do is to remove water sources from your outdoors. If you see puddle of water in the middle of your lawn, garden or drain make sure to empty it. you see, wasps need water to survive.
- Remove food source
After sweet foods, wasps also like protein foods like meat. You should remove leftover food from the dining table and clear kitchen counters where you prepare food. any leftover food should be thrown in to a bin and closed or covered if kept on the table.
