Wasp and hornet nests can be found in various locations, including residential areas, gardens, parks, and forests. Wasps are commonly encountered during the spring and summer months when their populations are at their peak.
If you have a wasp nest on your property or in a location that poses a risk or inconvenience, it’s important to handle it carefully. Here are a few suggestions on how to deal with wasp nests in BC:
- Identify the nest: Locate the wasp nest on your property. Common places for wasp nests include eaves, trees, bushes, or even underground burrows.
- Assess the risk: Determine if the wasp nest poses a threat to human safety or property. If it’s located in an area where people frequently pass by or if someone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, it’s best to seek professional assistance.
- Consult Go Green Pest Control 778-886-4111: If the nest is large, hard to reach, or if you’re unsure about handling it yourself, it’s recommended to contact us. We have the knowledge, experience, and proper protective gear to remove the nest safely.
- DIY methods: If you decide to tackle the nest yourself, make sure to take precautions. Wear protective clothing such as long sleeves, pants, gloves, and a veil or hat. Use an insecticidal spray specifically labeled for wasp control, following the instructions carefully. Do this during nighttime when wasps are less active and most of them are in the nest.
- Prevent future nests: After removing a wasp nest, take preventive measures to minimize future infestations. Seal off potential entry points, such as cracks or holes in walls, and keep garbage cans tightly sealed.
