Wasp Inspection
Wasps can present a number of problems for you or your home, so it’s important to learn some of the common techniques for accurate wasp identification and inspection. It’s also a good idea to inspect the area to determine the severity of infestation and why they may be invading your home. Since there are many types of stinging pests, looking carefully at the body type, color and legs will help you properly identify your wasp. Suborder Apocrita have a pinched waist and most have two pairs of wings. Wasps can be black, brown, yellow or orange in color, and they vary in size from almost microscopic to several centimeters long.
Common types include mud dauber wasp, Eastern cicada killer wasp, European Paper Wasp, great black wasp, ground wasp, polisties paper wasp, and yellowjackets. Hornets, another type of wasp, have two pairs of wings, six legs and are approximately 1-1.5 inches long. European hornets have a reddish-brown head, thorax, first abdominal segment and legs. Bald-faced hornets, another type of wasp, resemble a larger version of a yellow jacket except with white-colored facial, thoracic and abdominal markings.
Wasp Treatment Options
Once we’ve accurately identified and inspected your pest problem, we can offer a variety of effective and efficient wasp treatment options. With several common methods to control wasps, Safeway Pest Management’s licensed pest specialists will determine the severity of the problem and what is needed to treat the infestation.
Exterminators often treat the nest sites of wasps through treatment methods like aerosol and dust. Aerosols can treat hanging nests, which bald-faced hornets and paper wasps make, with the use of chemicals. Dusting helps treat in-ground nests, such as yellow jacket nests. Finally, vacuuming is ideal for treating any wasp infestations inside your home.
Wasp Prevention
While there are several effective wasp treatment options, you can also look into a variety of wasp prevention methods that will help you maintain a pest-free home over time. Wasp prevention starts with modifying the areas around your home or business to reduce the number of suitable wasp nesting sites, ultimately making it harder for wasps to build nests or get inside. Sealing your doors and windows and planting wasp-repellent plants in your garden can also help keep wasps away.
Additional wasp prevention options include keeping the areas that were infested clean and reducing access to any sources of food. Safeway will do a preventative treatment and warranty that your home or business will not have any stinging insect's nests for the entire season.
