Texas Wasp Control - Pest Exterminator Tips

Basic Wasp Control Tips

Wasps are an incredibly dangerous pest and wasp invasions have become more prevalent.  The lone-star state of Texas has seen a considerable amount of wasp infestations in recent years. Extermination and nest removal is the ultimate end goal, but it helps to practice some basic do-it-yourself wasp prevention techniques.  If something as simple as wearing proper clothing or keeping your garbage sealed can help deter the pests then surely it is worth doing.  Here are some basic Texas Wasp Control tips to help prevent wasps from finding their way into your home:

• 
  Remove or seal food sources: Wasps are attracted to protein, which explains their frequent sightings at family cookouts.  Open garbage cans, pet food, or even scraps left on your grill can lure the pests to your lawn.  Grilled meats are tasty, but be vigilant of wasps because they love man meat.  Sweet foods, like rotting fruit, are also calling cards for wasps.  If you have fruit trees on your property, you will need to be extra diligent about cleaning up the fallen produce.


• 
  Avoid perfume or scented lotions: Sweetly scented lotions and floral perfumes smell like food to a hungry wasp. Even scented shampoos can bring you their unwanted attention.  These scents are an invitation for wasp trouble.


• 
  Avoid bright clothing: Bees and wasps are attracted to vibrant colored or patterned clothing.  Red and yellow would be particularly bad colors to wear at your next neighborhood picnic.

Wasp Removal Tips

If a nearby wasp nest is causing a ruckus for you and your family then some careful do-it-yourself pest removal is in order.  Before making any attempt to remove the wasp nest you need to be certain the wasps inside have been exterminated or securely quarantined.  Wear protective gear like long sleeves, goggles and gloves to protect yourself.  Also read all manufacturer directions that come with the wasp removal product for the best and safest results.

• 
  Wasp Aerosols: Insecticide sprays can be effective and easy to use wasp control products. Brand names like Raid and Ortho are readily accessible and have a proven track record. When using these products, completely saturate the nest to ensure complete annihilation and do not stand underneath it while applying the product.


• 
  Wasp Foam: For underground wasp nests, insecticidal foam is the best product choice. Wasp foams have a long, thin straw-like attachment that allows you aim the foam into an opening or other hard to reach place.


• 
  Organic Wasp Sprays: D-limonene and pyrethrins can also be found in organic wasp removal products.  D-limonene comes from the natural oil of citrus rinds and has a pleasurable orange scent.  Pyrethrins are naturally occurring insecticides derived from chrysanthemums.
