ALL ABOUT WASPS

HAVING TROUBLE WITH WASPS?

Wasps don’t feed on pollen like bees do. In fact, these gangly-looking insects feed on other insects, making them beneficial in gardens and around homes throughout Arizona. However, they don’t always travel alone. Wasps tend to gather in colonies and can quickly overtake a space. Although wasps tend to build their nests in trees and other high places, they often choose the most inconvenient location: right outside our doors.

They gather in groups of four, five or more and build paper nests on patio ceilings, deck railings and other spots near entryways. Because of their aggressive nature, it’s not a good idea to get close to their nests; you might end up with a nasty sting if you do. A wasp infestation is nothing to take lightly and may require professional wasp removal services depending on the size of the nest and the number of wasps in the area. Keep in mind that wasps don’t actively seek to sting humans and will usually only attack if they’re threatened.

The Paper Wasp

The Paper Wasp that we find most commonly around our homes. These guys will sting if provoked but seem to be more at ease than its cousin the yellow jacket. They start to build their nests in the springtime and their colony consists of one dominant female and several worker females. The adults feed on nectar and the larva feed on insects that the adults chew up for them. My experience with them is they seem pretty tolerant of human activity but will attack if they feel threatened. It is my recommendation to locate and remove wasps early in the season to keep the population from getting too big.

THE WASP LIFESTYLE
Did you know that there are more than 100,000 species of wasps? The Phoenix area is host to many wasp varieties including the common yellow jacket wasp (these are the nasty guys with the yellow and black stripes), the mud dauber wasps (they’ve got long skinny waists and build their nests out of mud), and the dreaded paper wasp (theses are the nastiest of the breeds found in the valley as they are exceptionally aggressive).

Tips for Wasp Removal

Although it looks like an easy fix, just simply removing the nest with a broom handle won’t do the job. It’ll actually taunt the insects and make them turn on you, which could encourage a swarm that can result in stings directed right at you. Additionally, there are some chemical sprays contain toxic ingredients that can harm other beneficial insects in the area. Therefore, it’s not always wise to start spraying a nest with a product that was bought from the store. It’s best to hire a professional pest control service to inspect the nest and to use the appropriate wasp treatment method to get rid of wasps in the areas that you inhabit near a home or business.

Do you have a wasp infestation and need it removed ASAP? Contact the professionals at the Mesa extermination service Overson Pest Control to learn more about our wasp treatment options. In fact, paper wasps, in particular, play an important role in gardens throughout the Phoenix area and rarely cause harm to people and pets. However, if they feel threatened, their painful stings can cause large welts and severe allergic reactions in those people with insect sting sensitivities. Call us today to remove wasps the right way.
