How High Can Wasps Fly in Feet?
WouterDuring the summer months, wasps can be a problem. These insects are attracted to sweet foods, protein based baits and open cans. When they are disturbed, they release an alarm pheromone to mark their target. This pheromone alerts the colony to attack. The alarm pheromone can also be released by a casual swat at a wasp.
How high can wasps fly in feet? This depends on the species. For example, baldfaced hornets can reach up to two feet. They are also known for their oversized nests. These nests can be made of paper or they can be suspended above ground. Typically, they are 18 inches wide and three feet high.
If you have a problem with wasps, you should be careful not to swat or swing at them. They can sting you several times. If you are trying to kill a nest, you should wear protective clothing. You should cover your face, neck, and ears. It is also advisable to wear eye protection.
Usually, wasps are not aggressive. However, they are known to be especially aggressive during the last months of summer. This is because their colonies die off during the winter. When a nest is disturbed, wasps become defensive and will sting you.
If you want to get rid of wasps, you should try a direct capture and control method. You can either spray them with an aerosol insecticide spray or you can use a butterfly net. The use of an aerosol insecticide spray will reduce the number of male wasps patrolling the area.
