How to get rid of wasps in the house and in the country

Wasp is a rather annoying insect that you want to stay away from. Unfortunately, wasps often build nests under the roofs of houses. Adults feed on flower nectar, but with a lack of food, they can try other organics. Wasps live in large families in small nests in the shape of a ball, which are built in empty houses, in hollows of trees, in farm buildings, in attics and even under the canopies of balconies of multi-storey buildings.

What is wasps dangerous for humans

Females of these insects have a rather sharp sting, which is floated at the slightest danger. The bite is painful, and often causes an allergic reaction. Wasps do not die by stinging once, like bees, so any individual will pose a constant threat to human health.

In addition, wasps are carriers of infectious diseases - in particular, intestinal. This is understandable because in search of fruits and other sugar-containing products, insects visit landfills, pits with rotting litter. They spoil the crop by sucking the juice of sweet fruits and berries.

So that the invasion of wasps does not turn life into a nightmare and does not spoil the rest, it is necessary to apply a set of measures to combat these annoying insects.

Wasp fight

The destruction of individual individuals will give only a temporary respite from the annoying neighborhood. If they often appear in the zone of visibility, then their nest is somewhere nearby. Usually this is a secluded place such as an attic, a drainpipe, a chimney, a niche under a slate roof. In apartment buildings, wasps build nests behind blocks of split systems, air conditioners, under canopies of balconies.

It is necessary to destroy the nest and periodically scare away the wasps that appear - only then will they leave the territory.

How to get rid of wasps in the country under the roof

Periodically arriving insects are not as scary as those who settled on the site for a long time. Unwanted guests are unlikely to return again if treated with slices of melon or watermelon sprayed with insecticides. In this case, only weak smelling agents will do. Most often, wasps are thoroughly arranged on the site. They have to fight, getting rid of not only insects, but also their nests.

If wasps arranged a nest under the roof of a country house or technical structure, it can be destroyed in several ways:

1. Mechanical. It is better to get rid of the aspen nest in the fall or early spring, when the tenants leave or have not yet returned to their home. The empty nest is cut and burned. The place of attachment of the aspen dwelling is carefully treated with a solution of chlorine or chlorine-containing preparations. Returning to this place wasps will be forced to look for a new habitat.
2. Using water. If you wait unbearable until the fall, the nest of wasps will have to be destroyed immediately as soon as it is found. If it is possible to bring a bucket of water to it so that the house is completely submerged in liquid, 10 minutes will be enough. Insects during this time will die and the nest will decay into separate elements.
3. Chemical. Modern pesticides are the most successful option in the fight against wasps. It should be borne in mind that the funds are unsafe for humans. Therefore, it is important to observe safety precautions, and protect the face and body with protective clothing during processing. The following drugs will help in the fight against wasps:

• Troapsil (Netherlands);
• “Bold” - long-acting microcapsules - up to 8 months;
• "Gett" - a disinfectant against insects;
• “Moskitol. Protection against wasps "- for processing non-residential premises.

Chemicals are available in the form of aerosols, granules. Aerosol can treat both the nest and part of the territory, repelling individual wasps. To kill insects in the nest, a package is put on top of it, into which the product is sprayed. This operation is carried out at night - when all the wasps will be in the nest. It is pointless to destroy a wasp nest with wasps in the morning or afternoon - most of the insects will be absent. In addition, active wasps are able to transmit information to the whole swarm. Therefore, in the daytime, the operation to destroy the nest is better not to carry out.

It is also important to consider that the package must be strong enough and well fixed on the wall of the house so that the wasps could not bite it or slip out of the slot. Chemicals are also good for repelling individual insects, for example - slugs and snails, ants, earth fleas etc.

How to get rid of wasps in a wooden house

Wood is a fire hazard material, therefore all wasp control methods should completely exclude the possibility of fire at home and the surrounding area. Therefore, fire as a method of struggle and everything connected with it is prohibited. It is also not recommended to use spray nests with gasoline, kerosene and other flammable liquids.

If the nest is in sight, the wasp is controlled by all the methods described above.

To destroy wasps, it is better to use microencapsulated bait preparations. “Dare” - one of these tools. The composition of the drug includes butox containing 5% deltamethrin. This is a veterinary drug that is safe for humans. The principle of its action is the defeat of the nervous system of the insect by paralysis. After a while, the wasps stop moving and die. The duration of the drug is several months, so it can be processed once. At the same time, “Dare” is applied not only to the nest, but also to the territory next to it. Thus, the wasp on its paws brings it to the home, where it can infect other individuals.

Velcro tapes are also convenient for wooden houses. Impregnated with a sweet and sticky composition, they attract insects that sit on the surface and cannot fly away. Changing tapes to new ones, you can get rid of wasps without harm to human health.

Of particular difficulty is the case when the nest is in a remote place and is not visible from the outside. It also can not do without chemicals, but first you need to find out the approximate location of the dwelling of insects.

To do this, for several days you should observe the flight path of the wasps near the house. A particularly good time will be in the evening when the wasps gather in the nest or in the early morning when they leave their home.

Having found the nest, a tube is inserted into the passages in the wall (usually their width does not exceed 4-6 mm), through which an aerosol agent for spraying wasps is sprayed. The hole is plugged with tow or cotton dampened with Fufanon type insecticides. At the same time, they try to push the cotton wool as deep as possible into the nest. The hole so plugged is plastered, adding a little karbofos to the plaster mixture.

It is not recommended to use mounting foam for these purposes, because wasps easily gnaw through the passages in it. This operation is carried out only in the late evening, when all the wasps are in the nest.

How to get rid of wasps folk remedies

Alternative methods are harmless to human health and do not have one hundred percent effectiveness. However, with small accumulations of insects, they are best suited.

1. Often, wasps visit an apartment or house, arriving from neighbors. Such visits will be significantly reduced if you periodically process the curtains, mosquito nets, ventilation plugs with a solution of vinegar.
2. Traps. Wasps are sweet tooth, and they will certainly try delicious honey or fruit syrup, poured into tall plastic bottle traps.In these containers make small holes and fill in up to half the volume of syrup or slightly acidified compote of berries. Such a trap will lure a significant number of wasps that can not get back.
3. Kerosene and gasoline. Many gardeners and homeowners still use these substances to fight wasps.
4. Repeller. These insects do not tolerate strangers in their "own" area. By placing a mock nest next to the house, you can protect your home from wasp intelligence. You can make such a false nest yourself or use a paper flashlight as it.

Professional wasp measures

If none of the methods was successful, you will have to call specialists to combat these harmful insects. Professional compositions, high-quality processing will allow to destroy not only wasps on the site, but also flies, ticks, ants.

The advantages of this method are obvious: effective special equipment is not available to the ordinary buyer, and professionals use it. Secondly, during processing, you can leave the site and return already to the house and yard cleared of insects. Thus, all the negative costs of wasp control (bites, exposure to toxic substances) will not affect the owner of the house. And finally, if the quality of processing is not satisfactory, you can always make a complaint and get a second cleaning from wasps. Some companies provide warranties for a specific time. You can find out about this by leaving a request to call specialists.

The fight against wasps cannot be limited to one day. As a rule, to get rid of annoying insects, not one, but several methods are used simultaneously. Some of them are ineffective, others help to destroy wasps for a while. If wasps only periodically appear on the site, prevention can be dispensed with. If coexistence with a hornet’s swarm causes problems, you should try out the most effective means to completely defeat predatory insects.
