How To Exterminate Wasps In Your Home

|

For those who have an infestation, wasps can be disagreeable and terrifying. They fly quickly around entryways and doors. When feeling threatened, get ready for their powerful sting.

However, all wasps do not sting. They prove to be beneficial insects in some ways. To stop your worry, here are ways to exterminate and stop them from coming back again.

Bait

If wasps are in an area where you cannot reach with dust or insecticide spray or you simply cannot find the nest of wasps, baiting could be the right solution. Several trap and bait products are available in the market these days. Choose one which has proven to be effective in getting rid of wasps. But, if you're only dealing with a small infestation, there are DIY traps you can try.

Soap And Water

Wasps and wasp nests can also be destroyed with soapy water. Not to mention, it is cheap and easy. Everyone can afford to have the solution at hand. Simply combine two tablespoons of dish soap along with water. Put the mixture into an empty spray bottle. This method works by blocking the breathing spores of wasps until they slowly die.

Water And Sugar Traps

Another natural and effective way of eliminating wasps is by setting out a honey trap with the use of sugar and water. The method works by luring wasps to the bottle or glass of the solution. The idea here is trapping them inside until they likely die.

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint is one of those essential oils that have proven to remove wasps in a home. It is easy, effective, and cheap. All you have to do is add some drops of peppermint oil to a cotton pad or tissue and put it around the area where wasps could be occurring. Otherwise, dilute a little of it in water and spray in a place where you often get wasps.

Sprays

There are some sprays you can find in the market to get rid of wasps. You can find them in home improvement stowed and supermarkets. Just an important reminder: Do not spray during the day because wasps are known to be extremely sensitive to light. And when spraying, make sure to not bring a phone light or flashlight with you. Or else, you're making it wrong.

Hire An Expert
