How do you know you have a wasp nest near the house?

Wasps usually fly near their nest. They go out to get food and return directly to the nest. Their activity time is during the day and when the evening comes they return to the nest.

If you saw a wasp or two flying near the window of the house, in the yard, etc., it is time to follow them and find the source from which they come.

The source will of course be the hornet’s nest which can be in all kinds of places. A wasp nest in the house may be in the window area, in the roller shutter, in the air conditioner area and even near trees in the yard.

Beyond that, the nest may be small and sometimes very large and its appearance and location varies according to the type of wasp. Professional wasp nest extermination by an exterminator will begin with identifying the type of wasp, locating the nest and only then extermination operations.

What does a wasps nest look like?

The visibility of wasp nests varies according to the type of axis. A plaster wasp is a black wasp whose nest looks like a lump of mud hanging from the corners of walls.

There are also wasp nests that look like a gray concrete block with lots of holes in it. This is the more familiar nest that wasps often build inside roller blinds and nest in the window area. Usually it will start from a small nest that will grow.

Another type of nest is in the ground. Many are not familiar with this type of nest. This type will often be found near trees. Regardless of which nest it is, wasp extermination is necessary and protects you from being stung.

How do you exterminate wasps?

What do you do with a wasp’s nest? So how do you actually get rid of them? The best way to exterminate wasp nests is by a professional exterminator. Professional exterminators come with appropriate clothing and protection that allows them to take care of the nest.

The process will begin by locating the wasps’ nest. After locating, the exterminator will spray the nest using a special device with a telescopic handle called a sprayer.

Inside the pollinator will be a pesticide that aims to kill all the wasps in the nest so that the exterminator can then disconnect it from where it is.

The pest control process includes risks and it is important not to do it yourself. Always call a professional from the field to do the job for you and get rid of the wasps that have come to you.
