How to repel or get rid of wasps?

An excellent way to prevent wasps from nesting on your property and avoid trouble is to pay special attention to your buildings and walk around your property regularly.

There are other physical or mechanical ways of repelling them. Here are just a few of them.

Physical interventions

• Avoid leaving wet pet food or leftovers from outdoor meals in the open;
• Cover food and drinks when eating outdoors;
• Place waste in containers with tight-fitting lids until it can be disposed of outdoors;
• Try not to spread scents such as perfume or hairspray.

Traps

Be aware that baited traps can intensify wasp traffic. They should therefore not be placed near playgrounds or other high-traffic areas. Traps are particularly useful for keeping wasps away from areas where food is served during outdoor events. See your extermination consultant to determine the best strategy for your particular problem.

Wasp nest removal

• If the nest poses no health risk in its current location, it’s best to leave it in place until November or December. Once deserted by its occupants, it can then be removed and disposed of with little risk;
• Removing a nest that is still occupied, however, is a riskier operation. It has to be done in the evening, when the wasps are less active. Extreme care must be taken to avoid being attacked by large numbers of wasps. Although this operation can be carried out without too much difficulty if the appropriate precautions are taken, it is advisable to call in a professional.
• Remember to wear appropriate clothing and cover your head with protective netting if you try to remove the nest yourself.

Sand wasps

Although wasps usually make their home high up, it is possible to find them in the ground. If you find yourself in this situation, be careful. The work must be done safely, and often you’ll need to use specialized techniques or certified products to solve your problem once and for all. Our experts can help.

In short, don’t forget to caulk your building openings after nest removal. If you have any further questions or concerns, a qualified and certified GREENBUG technician will answer your questions and suggest solutions and strategies to restore your peace of mind.
