How to Solve Wasp Problems
WouterHaving wasps in your home can be an unpleasant experience. They are territorial creatures, and can make you feel uncomfortable. They can also cause damage to your property, especially if they build their nests inside the house.
Wasps can enter your home through small cracks, gaps and other openings. They may also chew through drywall, roof shingles or other structural materials to get inside. If this happens, you’ll want to replace your roof shingles, repair roof cracks, and caulk any other cracks that may be causing moisture to enter your home.
Wasps can also build nests inside your walls. These nests are made of a combination of wood fibers and moisture. Over time, these nests can absorb moisture, weakening the structure of your walls. They can also lead to condensation, which can cause mold to grow on the walls and ceiling. If you have a problem with a wasp nest, it’s important to find a pest control company right away.
The first step in solving a wasp problem is to find the nest. Wasps will generally build their nests in sheltered areas, such as beneath an overhang, near a screen, or in a wall cavity.
Once the nest has been found, you’ll need to clean it out. You can use a garbage bag to remove it, or you can have it professionally removed by a pest control company. Depending on the size of the nest, it may be difficult to remove.
