How to get rid of wasps in the house and in the country

Wasp - quite annoying insect, from which you want to stay away. Unfortunately, wasps often build nests under roofs. Adults feed on floral nectar, but with a lack of food they can taste other organics. Wasps live in large families in small nests in the shape of a ball, which they build in empty houses, in tree hollows, in outbuildings, in attics and even under the sheds of multi-storey balconies.

What is dangerous for human wasps?

The females of these insects have a rather sharp sting, which is floated at the slightest danger. The bite is painful, and often causes an allergic reaction. The wasps do not die, having stung once, like bees, therefore any individual will pose a constant threat to human health.

In addition, wasps are carriers of infectious diseases - in particular, intestinal. This is understandable, becauseinsects visit garbage dumps, pits of rotting waste, in search of fruit and other sugar-containing products. They spoil the crop, sucking the juice of sweet fruits and berries.

So that the invasion of wasps does not turn life into a nightmare and does not spoil the rest, it is necessary to apply a set of measures to combat these annoying insects.

Fighting wasps

The destruction of individuals will only give a temporary respite from the annoying neighborhood. If they appear often in sight, it means that somewhere near their nest. This is usually a secluded place such as an attic, drainpipe, chimney, niche under the slate roof. In apartment buildings, wasps build nests behind blocks of split-systems, air-conditioners, and under balcony sheds.

It is necessary to destroy the nest and periodically scare the wasps that appear - only then will they leave the territory.

How to get rid of wasps in the country under the roof

Periodically arriving insects are not as terrible as settling on the site for a long time. Unwanted guests are unlikely to return again, if you treat them to slices of melon or watermelon, sprayed with insecticides. In this case, only low odor remedies will do.Most often, wasps are thoroughly settled on the site. It is necessary to fight with them, getting rid of not only insects, but also their nests.

If the wasps have built a nest under the roof of a country house or a technical structure, it can be destroyed by several methods:

1. Mechanical. It is better to get rid of the wasp nest in the fall or early spring, when the tenants leave or have not yet returned to their home. An empty nest is cut and burned. The place of attachment of the wasp dwelling is carefully treated with a solution of chlorine or chlorine-containing preparations. The wasps returning to this place will be forced to look for a new habitat.
2. With the help of water. If one waits for an incontinence until the fall, the wasp nest will have to be destroyed as soon as it is discovered. If it is possible to bring a bucket of water to it so that the dwelling is completely immersed in the liquid, 10 minutes will be enough. Insects will die during this time and the nest will break up into separate elements.
3. Chemical. Modern toxic chemicals - the most successful option in the fight against wasps. It should be noted that the funds are unsafe for humans. Therefore, it is important to observe precautions, and during processing to protect the face and body with overalls. The following drugs will help in the fight against wasps:

• Troapsil (Netherlands);
• Smelnet - long-acting microcapsules - up to 8 months;
• "Gett" - a disinfectant against insects;
• “Moskitol. OS protection "- for processing non-residential premises.

Chemical preparations are produced in the form of aerosols, granules. Aerosol means can be treated as a nest, and part of the territory, scaring individual wasps. To destroy insects in the nest, a package is put on top of it, inside which a spray is sprayed. This operation is performed at night - when all the wasps will be in the nest. It is useless to destroy the nest with wasps with an aerosol in the morning or afternoon - most of the insects will be absent. In addition, active wasps are able to transmit information to the entire swarm. Therefore, in the daytime it is better not to carry out the operation to destroy the nest.

It is also important to note that the bag must be strong enough and well mounted on the wall of the house so that the wasps cannot bite through it or slip out of the gap. Chemicals are also good for scaring off insects, for example - slugs and snails, ants, ground fleas etc.

How to get rid of wasps in a wooden house

Wood is a fire hazardous material, so all methods of dealing with wasps should completely exclude the possibility of ignition of the house and the territory adjacent to it. Therefore, fire as a method of struggle and everything connected with it is prohibited. It is also not recommended to spray the nest with gasoline, kerosene and other flammable liquids.

If the nest is in sight, the wasps are controlled by all the methods described above.

It is better to use microencapsulated bait preparations to kill wasps. Smelnet is one such tool. The drug contains butox containing 5% deltamethrin. This is a veterinary drug, safe for humans. The principle of its action is the defeat of the insect's nervous system through paralysis. After a while, the wasps stop moving and die. The validity of the drug - a few months, so they can be processed once. At the same time, Smilnet is applied not only to the nest, but also to the territory next to it. Thus, the wasps on the paws bring it to the dwelling, where they can infect other individuals.

Velcro tapes are also convenient for wooden houses.Impregnated with a sweet and sticky composition, they attract insects that sit on the surface and cannot fly away. By changing tapes to new ones, you can get rid of wasps without harm to human health.

Of particular difficulty is the case when the nest is in a remote place and is not visible from the outside. Here you also can not do without chemicals, but first you need to find out the approximate location of the dwelling of insects.

To do this for several days, you should observe the flight path of the wasps near the house. An especially good time will be the evening when the wasps gather in the nest or early in the morning when they leave their home.

Having found the nest, a tube is inserted into the passages in the wall (usually their width does not exceed 4-6 mm), through which an aerosol solution is used to combat wasps. The hole is plugged with heel or cotton moistened with insecticides such as "Fufanon." At the same time trying to push the wool as far as possible into the nest. A hole that is corked this way is plastered by adding a little karbofos to the plaster mixture.

It is not recommended to use foam for this purpose, because wasps easily gnaw through it.This operation is carried out only in the late evening, when all the wasps will be in the nest.

How to get rid of traditional means

Traditional methods are harmless to human health and do not have one hundred percent effectiveness. However, with small concentrations of insects, they are best suited.

1. Often, wasps visit an apartment or house, arriving from their neighbors. Such visits will be significantly reduced if you periodically process curtains, mosquito nets, vent plugs with a solution of vinegar.
2. Traps. Wasps - sweet tooth, and be sure to try a delicious honey or fruit syrup, poured into tall plastic bottle-traps. Small holes are made in these containers and the syrup or slightly acidified fruit compote is poured in to half the volume. Such a trap will lure a significant number of wasps that can not get back.
3. Kerosene and gasoline. Many summer residents and homeowners still use these substances to fight wasps.
4. Repeller These insects do not tolerate strangers on "their" site. By placing the layout of the nest next to the house, you can protect your home from the OS-intelligence.Such a false-nest can be made by yourself or use a paper lantern as it.

Professional measures to combat wasps

If none of the methods have been successful, it will be necessary to call in specialists to combat these harmful insects. Professional compositions, high-quality processing will allow to destroy not only wasps on the site, but also flies, ticks, ants.

The advantages of this method are obvious: effective special means are not available to the ordinary buyer, and professionals use them. Secondly, during processing, you can leave the site and return to the house and yard that has been cleaned from insects. Thus, all the negative costs of wasp control (bites, exposure to toxic substances) will not affect the owner of the house. And finally, if the quality of processing is not satisfactory, you can always make a claim and get a second sweep from wasps. Some companies provide warranties for a specific time. You can find out about this by leaving a request to call specialists.

Fighting wasps can not be limited to one day. As a rule, several methods are used simultaneously to get rid of annoying insects at once.Some of them are ineffective, others help to destroy wasps for a while. If the wasps only periodically appear on the site, it is quite possible to do with prevention. If coexistence with a wasp swarm brings problems, one should try out the most effective means for a complete victory over predatory insects.
