PEST CONTROL - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Wasps
Aside from different nesting preferences, the main difference between bees and wasps is that bees feed their larvae pollen, while wasps — a category that includes yellow jackets and hornets — nourish theirs with insects. That means that wasps are actually great to have around the garden because they control nearly all types of pests.
Despite all the ways wasps can benefit your yard, wasps can still sting and cause an allergic reaction. Before they build a nest that’s a little too close for comfort under your porch roof or even inside your home, it’s time to do something.
-
Don’t swat at them! Swatting at a wasp tells it to release pheromones that will trigger other nearby wasps to perceive you as a threat, exactly what you don’t want to happen.
-
Plain Soap and Water. You can tackle small hanging nests with a mixture of about two tablespoons of dish soap in a spray bottle filled with water. The soap clogs their breathing pores (called spiracles) and they die almost instantly
-
Peppermint oil may also be effective at repelling wasps.You can try applying it as described above
-
Use a DIY insect spray that you can purchase from a store
-
Never attempt to remove a wasp's nest by yourself
