How to Get Rid of Wasps
Wasps are aggressive insects and while they usually go about their task of building a nest and pollinating flowers during spring time and in the summers, they are also capable of leaving behind nasty stings if provoked.
Moreover, the ability of the venom they leave in our bodies to trigger Anaphylactic Shock in the presence of allergies, is life-threatening indeed.
Therefore, for these reasons and more, if you find wasps or a wasp nest in the immediate vicinity of your home or office, it is best to get rid of these wasps immediately.
The first step you can take towards this is to make sure that there are no flowers or other edibles around you that these wasps can access with ease. Waste of any kind is a wasp’s favorite haunt and these insects have been known to have a liking for fish!
Therefore, if you get rid of food and other stuff lying around, you have taken the first step in getting rid of wasps.
If you find only a few wasps hovering around and looking for edibles to take back to the nest, or even a place to build one, you could easily swat and kill them, or maybe even use a household pesticide can. While this may seem easy, you need to take care that the wasps are indeed dead and that you have the reflexes to kill them without getting stung in return.
A vacuum cleaner comes in handy too, and while you can use one to suck the wasps into the machine, a ball dipped in acetone can be kept in the bag to kill the wasps that find themselves in it.
However, if you have an entire wasp nest, hiring a wasp removal service proves to be the best bet in terms of safety.
