HABITAT: Wasps are very territorial and will sting if they feel they need to protect their nest. Once they place their nests they will start mating. In late summer the queen will produce unfertilized eggs, these will become males and the males later fertilize the wasps that later become the queen for the next year by surviving through the winter in a sheltered location.

TIPS FOR CONTROL:

• Wasps lay their eggs for the next year which is why it is important to inspect all cracks and crevices around your home and seal them off to prevent a re-infestation from occurring the next year.
• Deny wasps from having a livable habitat by trimming shrubs and bushes and other dense greenery to prevent them from building nesting sites also remove all old wasp nest from the previous years to prevent them from coming back.
• Keep all garbage sealed and do not leave spilled beverages or food around to prevent the wasps from being attracted to your property.
• Wasps are dangerous pests to deal with which is why it is always a good idea to contact a professional. Call Xterminate and well manage your property for the whole year so you can rest easy and enjoy your backyard.
