Are you having serious trouble with wasps in your home? You may have been noticing more and more of them around your property. You or your family members may have been stung a few times. Whether it's a nuisance you'd rather live without or a suspected infestation, it's time for you to learn how to get rid of wasps.
Make Sure Your Home is Not Attractive to Wasps The first lesson in how to get rid of wasps comes down to learning how to make your home less attractive for them. This means getting rid of all of the areas where they may cluster in order to build a nest. It also means reducing the things you may do that inadvertently lead to wasps and other insects swarming all around you. Your best bet will be to contact J.P.'s Termites & Pest Control.

Shoring up your home as well as the area around it will be a great start to defusing a tense situation with wasps. It is also a great way to get rid of other pests, such as ants, roaches, or termites, that may be building up their numbers in the area. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can get to work to make it happen. Keep the Area Around Your Home Clean A major reason why wasps are attracted to your home is because you may be a bit careless with garbage disposal. You need to keep your garbage out of reach of wasps and other pests. It's a good idea to keep it as close to the curbside and as far away from your home as possible. You should also watch the kind of foods that you throw away, especially during the summer season when wasp breeding is at its height. You want to make sure that anything protein-rich or sweet is completely wrapped up. Wasps love to feed on leftover food in trash cans so make sure that you make it as secure from them as possible. Don't Let Water Build Up Around Your Home It's also important not to let pools of water build up around your home. Like all other animals, wasps rely on fresh water. If the runoff from your sprinkler is causing pools of water to collect near your home, this will be a rich source of moisture for them to thrive on. It may also be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Don't Keep Flowers or Fruit Near Your Home Another important source of nutrition for wasps is flowers and fruit. This is because if they can't get a regular source of access to fresh water, they will turn to other means. A prime source of moisture for wasps and other pests is the nectar from plants and fruits. If you have them near your home, they could be patronized by wasps. In a situation like this, you need to limit their access. Don't keep too many house plants on your front or back steps or porch during the spring and summer seasons. And definitely don't plant fruit trees too near your home. These are a prime attracting agent for wasps and other insect pests. Wasps and other insects are very attracted to brightly colored flowers and plants. If you have any of these, try to keep them in your home rather than outside. Contact J.P.'s Termite & Pest Control, Inc Today Even the best kept home may fall prey to a wasp infestation.
