How to Keep Wasps Out of Your Soffit
WouterThose with soffits need to keep their soffit clean and sealed for insects. Some species of wasps make underground nests inside soffits and attics.
Soffits are spaces that connect the roof to the walls. They are also a source of access for bats and squirrels. These pests can chew through the vents on the roof to get inside your home. If you have a problem with wasps, you should remove them before they start to build a colony.
One homeowner in Toronto, Ontario, had a problem with a wasp colony that was living inside his soffit. When he called a pest control company, they agreed to come out and perform pest proofing on his property. They recommended sealing soffit openings with caulking and mesh to keep the pests out. They also suggested spraying the entry points with an insecticide.
A high-quality adjustable pressure washer is a great tool to use to clean your home’s facade. It is a versatile tool that can clean your home’s eaves, driveways, and patios.
You should not use a pressure washer on the roof. If you do, you could damage the roof. Then, you would need a sturdy platform to place the shop vac on. You should also make sure to use an extension cord.
You can also spray the wasps with a high-velocity nozzle on your hose. Then, you should wear gloves and long pants to protect yourself from the stings. Then, you should spray the nest at night when the wasps are not active.
