How to Get Rid of Wasp Nests
WouterGetting rid of a wasp nest isn’t always easy. These little insects can be a pest in and around your home, and if they get into your bed, you could suffer a painful sting.
There are several ways to kill a wasp nest. Some people use liquid insecticides and repellents, while others use pressurized sprays. Which method is best for you depends on the size of the nest and the location of the nest.
The best way to control a wasp nest is to keep them away. Seal any cracks that might be allowing wasps to enter your home, and keep your waste in containers instead of in the trash.
A good wasp spray will provide a quick knock-down, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The spray should contain synergized pyrethrins plus petroleum distillates.
If you need to kill a wasp nest, it’s probably best to hire a professional. These pest control professionals will be able to safely remove the nest, and ensure it isn’t left to return.
Wasps are an important part of your local ecosystem. They help to pollinate plants and keep other pest insects at bay. In the event that you’re unable to do this yourself, there are several proprietary insecticides that can be purchased at most hardware stores.
The most important thing to know is that a wasp nest isn’t something you can simply burn down. Wasps are very flammable, so burning down your nest will only hurt them.
