How Does The Infestation Work?

Wasp infestations typically starts when swarm of wasps seeks a new nesting site, either because they outgrow their previous ones, looking for a new food source, or the previous nests were attacked. The process starts with worker wasps scouting for area with food (small insects, sugary substances, and protein sources). Once identified, they will then start building their new nests in sheltered locations such as eaves, attics, wall cavities, or property buildings. They use wood fibers mixed with saliva to create papery nests.

After the nest is built out, the queen will start laying eggs, which later hatch into larvae and are fed by worker wasps until they mature into adults. The process repeats and before you know it, they’re all over the place.

Key Difference Between Wasps and Bees

Appearance: Wasps have smooth bodies and narrow waists, and longer legs while bees are typically hairy, with stout bodies whereas
Behaviour: Wasps are very aggressive and are likely to sting multiple times with the venom being more fatal whereas bees are generally non-aggressive
Nesting: Wasps construct paper-like nests from chewed wood fibers whereas bees build wax hives in protected areas whereas

Elimination Tips

Unlike bee control and removal where you can easily do it yourself, wasp nest removal is more dangerous and difficult due to the aggressiveness of wasps and their venom fatality. But nevertheless, here are some tips for you to do it yourself:

Locate the wasp nest where they commonly enter and exist. This includes under eaves, in attics, and it trees.
Wear protective clothing, including gloves, long sleeves and face masks to avoid stings. We recommend removing the nest at night where wasps are less active. You can use a red flashlight to avoid attracting them.
Apply wasp insecticide directly into the nest entrance and follow the instructions on the label carefully.
After you make sure that all the wasps are dead, you can carefully remove the nest and dispose it off. Seal the entry points around the home to prevent future infestations.
