Your first line of defense against wasp invasion is to prevent them from entering your premises. Wasp encounters can be highly unpleasant and the only way to avoid this is by making it difficult for them to live in your house. Wasp species like mud daubers can be a nuisance because they will spoil your home décor by building ugly looking mud nests where they dump spiders that will become food for their larvae. You can successfully prevent wasp invasion by trying the following organic methods that are known to repulse wasps and stop them from invading homes. If your home is already infested with them you have no option but approach professional wasps removal Brampton such as BBPP, the best in the business and for nearby towns.
How to prevent wasps with your first line of defense
Close Entry Points
Wasps are tiny insects that can enter through holes and voids and these are the areas you should look to seal first. Check your home for cracks, holes, unsealed vents, torn window screens, gaps in the door frame and windows and seal the effectively. You can replace torn screens, and seal holes and voids with cement or caulk. If you observe the flight path of a wasp you will know the entry and exit points and mornings are the ideal time to check that.
Take away Food Sources
Protein foods attract wasps in spring and early summer and they find them in leftover foods, garbage cans, picnic scraps, pet food and uncovered compost. Wasps remember food sources well and will always go the same sources again and again even after you have removed food sources. Wasps in late summer turn their attention to sweet and sugary foods. Leaving cans of fruit juice, pop, fallen apple on the ground, and other sugary foods will be an easy invitation to wasps. Cover opened drinks and food containers, and put a lid on compost. Do no walk barefoot under fruit trees and fallen fruit on the ground must be removed immediately.
Do not swat wasps
Swatting wasps could be counterproductive because a chemical known as pheromone is released by a squashed wasp which will incite other wasps nearby. In no time you will be surrounded by angry wasps. If you find lone hovering wasp simply walk away instead of taking a swipe at it.
Do not wear bright colors
Do not wear clothing of floral and colorful patterns. For wasps you may look like a big flower and attract them when they are on hunt for nectar.
Do not wear flowery and sweet perfumes
Minimize or stop wearing perfume if you see the presence of wasps in your home. Sweet smells attract wasps and you will become a target for them.
