How to Get Rid of Wasp Nests
WouterWhether you have noticed a wasp nest in your yard or in your home, it is not always easy to get rid of them. But, if you are able to eliminate the nest, you can prevent it from growing back.
Wasps are a type of insect that are able to sting, and some people can even develop life-threatening allergic reactions to them. If you’re allergic, you should avoid disturbing the nest and you should also be prepared with an emergency kit.
Wasps use pheromones, a chemical means of communication, to mark their territory. They also release pheromones when they feel threatened, and if you disturb the nest, it will cause the rest of the colony to be alarmed. If you follow the right steps, you can destroy these pheromones and make it easier to rid your property of wasps.
To get rid of a wasp nest, you can use a wasp spray. These products kill the wasps that are in contact with the nest, but they will not kill the nest itself.
Wasp nests can be found in homes, garages, sheds, and under eaves. It is important to follow the directions on the label of the spray you are using to get rid of wasps.
Once you have sprayed the nest, wait for 24 hours before you remove it. After you have removed the nest, you should dispose of it in an outside trash receptacle. The nest will need to be sealed in a thick plastic bag.
