How to Get Rid of Wasps in Your Home
WouterDuring summertime, wasps are busy collecting materials to build a nest. They can build a nest in places that are unlikely to attract other insects, such as the roof eaves or the slit in the mortar between bricks. They are also known to build nests in garage beams and near vents in your home.
Wasps also have a great sense of smell. They can detect the slightest scent, including a sweet smell. They are particularly prone to stinging people if they are threatened or in the vicinity of a nest. If you have trouble with wasps in your home, here are some of the best ways to rid yourself of these pests.
Using fire smoke is a great way to get rid of wasps. However, you need to be careful with the amount of smoke you use. Using too much smoke will not only annoy your pest, it could also cause breathing difficulties for the wasps.
Peppermint oil is also an effective wasp repellent. You can mix peppermint oil with dish soap to make an effective spray. You can also apply it to cotton balls or apply it to the areas where the wasps are building a nest.
Another good wasp repellent is eucalyptus oil. You can mix it with clove or lemongrass essential oils. You can also mix it with a bit of water to make a spray.
One of the simplest wasp repellents is to cover up any foods that are sweet. Wasps like sugary foods, so removing any foods that are rotting or falling off the table will go a long way toward solving your pest problem.
