When deciding how to get rid of a wasp nest on your property, remember that safety is the most crucial factor to consider. The easiest way to remove a wasp nest without getting stung or causing property damage is to rely on professional experience and safety equipment.
It is feasible, although not encouraged, to remove a wasp nest on your own. It’s recommended to avoid DIY wasp nest removal because it comes with a lot of risks, and the ordinary homeowner isn’t aware of the processes and safeguards that must be taken. Don’t take any chances if you come upon a wasp’s nest. Attempting to destroy the nest or employing other techniques can backfire, leaving you vulnerable to assault.
Apex Pest Control knows where to look for nests and how to utilize the proper safety equipment and treatments. We also help you seal up any entry spots that enabled wasps to enter your home and prevent them from returning. Apex Pest Control can take care of wasp control for you.
How to get rid of wasps properly
Contacting a pest control professional is the best way to get rid of a wasp nest. Although it may appear to be a simple task, a pest control professional is properly trained to handle and remove wasp nests safely and effectively, for the following reasons:
- Safety equipment: Personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protection equipment are available to exterminators (RPE). This provides complete protection from wasp stings, ensuring their safety when dismantling a wasp nest.
- Working in confined areas: Pest control experts are skilled and certified to work in tight spaces like your attic. They can safely remove a wasp nest from a property using this method.
- Knowledge of an expert: A pest control professional is an expert in wasps; they know everything there is to know about their behaviour and instincts, as well as how to recognize the signs of a wasp sting allergic reaction.
- Professional products: Wasp exterminators have access to many pest control solutions that are not available to the general public and are professionally trained to utilize them. These products have a proven track record of successfully eradicating wasp nests and are more potent than any DIY product on the market.
How to Get Rid of a Wasp Nest
- At night, approach the nest cautiously and quietly.
- Cover the wasp nest with a rubbish bag carefully.
- Remove the wasp nest from the tree or wall to which it is affixed and seal the bag;
- Place the waste bag in an exterior garbage can with a tight-fitting lid, away from the house if possible.
It’s a good idea to have a full can of pest control available to spray on the nest before removing it if at all possible.
It’s crucial to remember that if the wasp nest is in a difficult-to-reach location, such as beneath your gutters or high in a tree, you shouldn’t try to remove it yourself because it could result in serious damage. Furthermore, if you are allergic to wasp stings or suspect you might be, you should not attempt DIY wasp nest removal!
