When warmer weather arrives, it is time to talk to gardening, games and the back yard. Unfortunately, the pleasant weather also draws wasps as new colonies, and they are as happy about cookouts and garden harvest as they are. Wasps are attracted to food sources and cakes, and if you have problems nearby in the most busy parts of your garden.
While wasps benefit the farm by capturing pests and pollination systems, they can become aggressive if they are disturbed or threatened. This can be dangerous if you decide to build a nest near your back door or terrace. When these stinging insects nest in your garden, search for things, put on the wasps and learn how to keep them away.
Things that put on the wasps
Sugar
Wasps are attracted to sugar -containing foods such as fruit, sweets, floral nectar and lemonades. Keep drinks and sweets covered and be careful when drinking soda sockets outdoors, as wasps can crawl inside. If you have fruit trees or a garden, take up fruit and vegetables that have fallen on the floor because fermentation can put on wasps.
Proteins
The wasp diet is based on proteins, which means that you are looking for flies, spiders, aphids and dead animals as well as proteins on your plate such as burgers and steaks. When cooking or serving food, pay attention to keeping it covered to keep wasps away. Keep insect infestation under control in your garden to avoid hungry wasps.
Garbage
Wasps are also aa eaters, and they can often fly around trash cans looking for their next meal. The garbage can be full of sticky residues, sweet liquids and food residues that like wasps. Make sure that you cover dockets with tight -fitting lids and clean it regularly. Keep tubborn cans and compost containers from doors, decks and other living rooms.
Water
While wasps build nests, they need water to moisturize the materials. They are also dependent on water for liquid intake in hot weather. Bird baths, standing water, swimming pools and large water bodies are all sources that you pull into your garden. If possible, remove standing water sources.
Nesting points
Wasps can nest over and below the ground to find protection against weather and predators. They possibly summed up behind the siding, in trees and shrubs, in fence poles, under eaves or underground tunnels. Fill holes in the ground before Wasps have the chance to create a home there. Seal cracks and gaps around windows and doors and near patos to prevent access to potential nesting places around the house.
Bright colors
Color can play a role to bring wasps to the yard, since wasps can confuse it with food sources such as flowers. This does not mean that you cannot have a pretty yellow umbrella on your terrace, but if wasps become a problem, you may have to put it away until you are under control.
How to get rid of wasps
You can remove a wasp nest by using a commercial aerosol spray that can reach at least 10 feet. Put on the hole and spray during the evening when the wasps are inactive and do not examine. Call a professional when the nest is in an area that is too difficult or dangerous, or if you are allergic to wasps.
As soon as you have eliminated a colony, take measures so that wasps will be set in your garden in the future by covering food and garbage, removing temptations such as dead or dilapidated food sources and sealing entrances to the nesting areas. Plants such as mint, lavender, eucalyptus and marigolds can park wasps, and traps can help reduce the colony.
