How to Keep Wasps Away
WouterDuring the summer, wasps can be a nuisance. They’re ferocious when it comes to bees, but there are some steps you can take to keep them away.
First, seal up any holes in your home or window screens. These cracks are an easy way for wasps to get inside your home. Use a waterproof caulk to seal them. This is especially effective during the winter.
Second, if you’re worried about attracting wasps, consider adding plants to your yard. These plants have been known to repel other insects, including wasps. You can also add plants to your attic or other areas where wasps might be nesting.
Third, try to avoid leaving food out. Wasps like sweet and sugary drinks, so if you’re storing food in your house, it’s a good idea to cover the container or place it somewhere where it’s out of reach. You can also place dryer sheets under your containers for extra protection.
Lastly, you can try adding essential oils to your outdoor spaces. Some of these oils are known to repel wasps. Try clove, lemongrass, and geranium oils. You can also mix some essential oil with water to create a spray.
If you’re still having problems, you can hire a pest control company to get rid of the bees. You can also try composting your yard. These will not only remove the bees, but also avoid any poisonous gas from escaping into your home.
While bees and wasps are both important pollinators, the two species are not always friendly. Some bees are aggressive, while some wasps are less aggressive.
