Removing wasp nests can be dangerous and intimidating without the proper equipment and training. It’s often better to seek out a professional pest control service like Rove Pest Control for getting rid of wasps, but if you are going to attempt wasp removal on your own, here are five tips for getting rid of them:
1.Find the nest before you get stung – sometimes this is easier said than done. Our customers appreciate that we are regularly inspecting for them so they don’t have to.
2.Use the proper apparel –Protective equipment allows for less adrenaline and more precision in the equation (not to mention less pain).
3. Apply product to the natural opening – keep in mind that some nests, especially ground nests, may have multiple entrances.
4. Puncture the nest to apply product to other areas – even if you are a master dust applicator, the tiers of combs can block a large portion of the nest from being affected
5. Knock down the nest, remove the remnants, and leave the site as pretty as possible. This may take a couple of passes and allowance of time for the wasps to die or evacuate the area.
