HOW DO PEST CONTROL EXPERTS GET RID OF WASPS?

Having wasps nesting near your home or yard can be more than just a hassle—it’s a serious concern. The constant worry of wasps interrupting your outdoor barbecues or relaxing moments in the yard can create significant anxiety. No one wants to deal with being chased or stung by wasps while trying to enjoy the outdoors. If you suspect a wasp problem, don’t wait—contact our Wasps Removal experts in the GTA for professional assistance.

Here are some common methods used by pest control professionals to remove wasps:

Protective Gear

Before attempting any wasp removal, pest control experts suit up in protective clothing to prevent stings. This usually includes wearing thick clothing, gloves, a veil or face shield, and a beekeeping suit if necessary.

Insecticides

Pest control professionals use insecticides specifically designed to target and eliminate wasps. They may use aerosol sprays, dusts, or liquid insecticides to treat the nest and surrounding areas.

Nest Removal

Once the wasps have been eliminated, the pest control experts will carefully remove the nest from its location. This step is crucial to prevent any future infestations, as some wasps may reuse old nests.

Traps

In some cases, pest control experts may use traps to capture and remove individual wasps. These traps can be useful for reducing the wasp population and monitoring their activity.

Foaming Agents

Foam insecticides can be applied to the nest, enveloping and suffocating the wasps inside. This method is particularly useful for treating nests in enclosed spaces.

Dust Insecticides

Dust insecticides are often used for nests in wall voids or other hard-to-reach areas. The dust adheres to the wasps’ bodies, and as they return to the nest, they transfer the insecticide to other colony members, eventually leading to their demise.

Professional Expertise

Beyond using specific products, pest control experts have the knowledge and experience to understand wasp behavior and locate hidden nests. They can accurately identify the species and customize their approach accordingly.

Prevention of Future Invasions

After wasp control treatment, homeowners must work with their professional pest company, such as QAPC, to prevent future invasions. First, seal up any gaps or cracks in your home, especially around doors or windows.

Keep trash, recycling, and compost bins sealed and clean to avoid attracting hungry wasps. Additionally, some types of bird feeders and nectar may attract wasps, so you may want to remove them during the summer or early fall months.
