Why wasps are buzzing around your yard?
It is normal for wasps to migrate from one place to another and your yard happens to be one of those places. However, they do not come to your yard for nothing as you have many attractions that make them make a beeline to your yard. Here are a few reasons why wasps come to your yard.
To Seek Safe sanctuary
Wasps come to your yard in need of a safe sanctuary. Male wasps after impregnating their queen die and the queen take shelter in warm and protected places such as your home and its surrounds. Yard is the first place the queen comes across and it takes refuge in protected places like barn, attic, and log piles on the yard, tree cavities, and underground burrows. Wasps also find shelter in cracks and crevices found on the outer walls as they provide protection from predators and harsh weather conditions.
To Seek food sources
After winter and the prolonged hibernation by queen, wasps start preparing for summer months. Hunger during long winter drives them to seek food and they find food sources in your yard, garden, outhouses etc. Once they find food in your premises and satisfied with the protection it is offering to their nest, they will stay there for the season. Your yard offers all types of food sources which is natural and manmade. There are digger wasps that unearth grubs, larvae and other insects for feeding. It is a good idea to exterminate spiders and other insects from the yard first.
- Leftover food
Most homes dump leftover foods in to trash cans that are placed in the yard. Wasps prefer protein based food items and they search them in the leftover food dumped in the garbage cans. They will also scavenge your lawn for meat scraps and BBQ drippings. You cannot prevent wasps from nosing what you are cooking on the yard or leaving scraps in the bins, but you can certainly prevent them from dipping in to the food sources by tightly closing the trash cans.
- Sugary delights
Wasps seek sugary food items in the fall as they have to sustain through winter. They find sugar in fallen or half eaten fruits in your yard, leftover drinks in soda cans, bird feed, fruit juices and other sugary drinks thrown carelessly in the yard.
- Strong Scented and brightly colored flowers
Flowering plants are great attraction for wasps they are attracted to flowers that are fragrant and brightly colored. It is also advised not to wear bright colored shirts or sweet smelling perfume, because wasps will be on to you in seconds.
