How to Get Wasps Out of Your Home in April
WouterDuring the spring months, you can expect to see wasps around your property. They will be flying around in search of pollen and insects to feed their larvae. They are also a nuisance. They will sting you if they feel threatened. However, they are harmless unless they attack you directly.
The first thing you should do is keep your windows closed during cooler weather. This will help keep wasps from flying into your home. Also, make sure your fly screens are in good working order. If you are not sure how to do this, call a professional.
Wasps make their nests from saliva and wood fibers. You can see these nests in the eaves of your home, in the woods, and even in your yard. Some nests are as large as a football. They can be dangerous to your pets or children.
Queen wasps emerge in April, and they will set out to build a new nest. You can expect to see the nest at its fullest by June. If you are in a wooded area, you may even see them nesting in crevasses. The queen is the most important member of the wasp colony. She is the one responsible for reproduction. During the winter, she will hibernate in deep crevasses.
The queen wasp is the only female wasp that will lay an egg. She will fertilize these eggs with sperm that she has collected in the autumn. She will lay several eggs, and eventually, these will hatch into workers.
