How to Keep Wasps Out of Your House
WouterWhether you are a homeowner or a renter, it’s important to know how to keep wasps out of your house. They are a common household pest. They like to eat blackberries and sweet fruit, but they also can sting if you accidentally catch them.
One of the most common ways to keep wasps out of your house is to seal off any cracks or holes in your home. There are a few different ways to do this. Sealing holes in the vents in your home is the most effective way, and putting up window screens is also a good option.
Another way to keep wasps out of your home is to make sure your chimney is properly sealed. Opening the flue of a fireplace will allow wasps to fall onto the floor. You can also install backdraft dampers inside your duct to keep the air from flowing through the vent.
You can also keep wasps from getting inside your home by using screens on your windows and doors. These screens should fit the frame of the window, so the wasps cannot squeeze through. These screens should also have no holes.
Leaving doors and windows open is another way to attract wasps and other insects into your home. Some species of birds and rodents will also work to find a new home in your house.
If you are not able to keep wasps out of your house, you may want to consider hiring a pest control company. Wasps can live for up to three months inside of your home. They also can fly into your house if they are accidentally brought inside.
