 Wasp Control
• As with all stinging pests, handle with care - safety first. It’s important to try to remove their nests as early as possible after its been built. This will dramatically reduce the population potential and reduce your chances of getting stung.
• Nests can be removed with a rake or shovel but that may be be a little too close for your comfort. A high-powered water hose might work best and provide a safe distance from the impending chaos.
• Most importantly, any attempt at removal should be done after sunset. Wasps do all their foraging during the day and return to the nest just before dark. You’ll have the greatest chance of getting all of the members if you wait until dark.
