The wrong way of controlling HORNETS
tempting to remove these pests without proper knowledge and equipment can be dangerous and may lead to stings or other unwanted consequences. For your safety, it’s advisable to consult with us at Go Green Pest Control 778-886-4111 to handle hornet and wasp infestations. Here are some wrong methods that people might attempt:
- Burning their nests: Setting fire to hornet or wasp nests can be extremely hazardous. It can cause the nest to explode, releasing a swarm of angry insects that may attack you and others nearby.
- Using water hoses: Attempting to spray the nest with a high-pressure water hose might agitate the insects and cause them to defend their colony aggressively.
- Swatting or hitting the nest: Physically attacking the nest with a broom, stick, or any object can provoke the hornets or wasps to attack you in self-defense.
- Using gasoline or chemicals: Pouring gasoline, diesel fuel, or other harmful chemicals on the nest is not only dangerous but can also contaminate the area and harm the environment.
- DIY traps without safety precautions: Creating DIY traps without proper safety measures can lead to accidental stings and worsen the situation.
- Covering the nest with objects: Trying to block the entrance of the nest with rocks, mud, or any other object may not be effective and could lead to the insects finding alternative ways to escape.
Remember, hornets and wasps serve important roles in the ecosystem, so it’s always best to consider non-lethal and eco-friendly methods of dealing with them. If you encounter a hornet or wasp problem, it’s best to contact Go Green Pest Control 778-886-4111 to ensure the safe and effective removal of the nest.
