Places Wasps Go in Winter (And How to Get Rid of Them)

June 29, 2022

Wasps

If you’re like most people, the answer to these questions is a mystery to you: Do wasps hibernate? Where do they go in winter? What do they do when it’s cold outside?

In this blog post, we will answer all of these questions and more! We will also provide tips on how to get rid of wasps during the winter months. Knowledge is power in pest control, so read on and learn all you can.

One place wasps may go in the winter is inside your home. They can enter through cracks and crevices around doors and windows. Once inside, they will build their nests in dark, secluded areas. If you have wasps in your home, you will likely see them flying around near windows or doors.

When winter comes, most wasps will die off. However, a few species of wasps can survive the cold weather. These wasps will find a place to hibernate until spring arrives. Some of the places where wasps go in winter include:

Underneath porches
In cracks and crevices in buildings
In trees and shrubs
Garages and sheds
In attics and crawl spaces
In wall voids

If you find wasps in any of these places, you can get rid of them using a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment. Vacuum up the wasps and dispose of them outside. You can also use an insecticide. If you find a wasp nest on your property, getting rid of it as soon as possible is essential. Otherwise, the wasps will continue to reproduce, and you will have an even bigger problem on your hands.

Insect Repellants 101: Do They Really Work?

June 6, 2022

Insect Repellants

Summertime is synonymous with outdoor activities. Whether you’re swimming, hiking, or just relaxing in the backyard, there’s nothing quite like enjoying the great outdoors insect-free. Unfortunately, pesky mosquitoes and other bugs can put a damper on your fun.

That’s where insect repellants come in. But do they really work? And when should you call a professional pest control agent? Keep reading for answers to these questions and more!

Insect repellants work by releasing undetectable chemicals to humans but serve as a form of communication for insects. These chemicals send a message to potential pests that the area is occupied, causing them to avoid it altogether. Repellants can be applied directly to the skin or clothing or used in conjunction with mosquito nets or traps.

There are a variety of insect repellants on the market, each with its own set of pros and cons. For example, DEET is a common active ingredient in many repellents. It’s been proven effective against a wide range of insects, but some people find it irritating to the skin. Picaridin is another popular choice. It’s odorless, non-greasy, and gentle on the skin, but it doesn’t last as long as DEET.

When choosing an insect repellant, you should keep a few things in mind. First, consider what type of insects you’re trying to repel. Different repellents are effective against various kinds of insects. Second, think about how long you’ll need the repellent to work. For example, if you’re going on a short hike, you won’t need a repellent that lasts for hours. On the other hand, if you’re spending extended time outdoors, you’ll want a repellent with longer-lasting effects.

If you’re dealing with a serious insect problem, it’s best to call a professional pest control agent. These experts can help identify the source of your problem and develop a plan to get rid of the insects for good. In the meantime, they may also recommend using insect repellents to keep the pests at bay.
