There’s a good reason that no one likes wasps. They may look like bees but while bees are beneficial pollinators, wasps are territorial predators that will sting you multiple times if you come too close to their nest. Because of this aggressive behavior, it’s very alarming when wasps decide to build a nest on the side of your house in Orlando or anywhere else on your property. Continue reading to learn how to remove a wasp nest without getting covered in painful stings.
3 Wasp Nest Removal Strategies
- The Old Garbage Bag Trick – Most DIY methods of wasp nest removal will get you stung multiple times, but there’s one technique that can be effective. If there’s a wasp nest hanging from your eaves, your deck or a tree in your yard, first wait until night when the wasps go dormant. Then, take a trash bag and slowly move it up and over the wasp nest until it is entirely covered. Quickly yank the wasp nest down into the bag and seal it before the angry pests have a chance to escape and start stinging, then dispose of it in a lidded container.
- Chemical Sprays – There are a number of over-the-counter spray bottles that can kill wasps on contact. Unfortunately, using these sprays against big wasp nests isn’t a good idea. You’ll only kill a few of the stinging pests before the rest fly out and attack you. But for small wasp nests, especially those that are newly formed, a chemical spray can quickly exterminate all of the wasps before they have a chance to counterattack.
- Professional Wasp Nest Removal – If you’re not keen on trying your hand at DIY wasp nest removal for fear of getting stung, we don’t blame you.
