Wasps can be an alarming pest to have near your home. They could sting you, your family or pets for seemingly no reason and ruin an entire afternoon. When not bothering humans, wasps spend most of their time looking for dead insects and eating flies. This helps to answer the question of “what is the point of wasps” but doesn’t change the fact that you don’t want them in your yard or home. Solitary wasps are less dangerous, but still a nuisance. If you have a wasp problem, call Carpet Addicts for help.
Why Use Professional Wasp Removal Services
Wasp stings are stronger than bee stings. This makes them even more dangerous, most especially to anyone with allergies.
Homeowners often assume that they can buy a can of wasp spray to solve the problem—but trying to remove these yourself can be risky for two reasons. First, DIY wasp removal work is not a good idea without proper safety precautions. The chemicals in those cans are harsh to you, your pets, and the environment. Second, if you miss or don’t hit the entire nest, you may aggravate the hive. This can result in many painful bites and stings to you and anyone nearby. Lastly, wasp nests are often under overhangs and in high-up areas.
In our opinion, it’s not worth it for you as a homeowner to take these risks. The best decision is to hire a professional. At an affordable price, you can save yourself some time and hassle.
Signs of a Wasp Infestation
You might already know you have a wasp infestation but here are a few of the most common signs wasp exterminators look for.
Sightings
The first sign people notice are actual wasps flying around the house, yard, or garden. They might hover around flowers, tree blossoms, and gutters.
Visible Nests
Some species of wasps make nests above ground in trees, hanging in soffits, or on poles. These nests can range in size from a pingpong ball to a basketball, depending on the species.
Hidden Nests
Some wasp species make nests underground, under house siding, or inside soffits. These can be especially difficult to find because the only sign of them is wasps flying in and out of their nests.
Things You Need to Know About Wasps
✔️ Wasps eat mostly flies and dead insects but will eat almost anything, including meat.
✔️ They sting multiple times.
✔️ They have the ability to live alone or in colonies.
✔️ Paper wasps, hornets, mud daubers and yellowjackets are all subtypes of wasps.
✔️ Stings from any of these wasps will most likely result in a painful red welt but not much more.
✔️ In rare cases, individuals who are allergic to wasp venom may experience systemic reactions like anaphylaxis. This severe reaction may include hives, airway constriction, rapid pulse, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you experience anaphylaxis, head to a doctor immediately.
