If there’s one annoying insect everyone in Utah is familiar with, it’s the wasp. Wasps will build nests in and around homes and commercial buildings. They’re social insects and live in colonies with a queen, workers, and drones. If you spot one wasp, there are likely hundreds more nearby.
Although wasps can be aggressive, they will sting if threatened. Wasp stings are not usually serious; however, they can be extremely painful. Additionally, if you’re allergic, multiple stings could be life-threatening. If you have a wasp infestation, don’t risk getting stung! Call in the experts at Nature’s Balance to help make your property safe again.
There are many varieties of wasps, but the paper wasp is most common in Utah. They look similar to bees, hornets, or yellowjackets. However, wasps are smaller and are black with stripes of yellow, orange, or red. Wasps are predators of honeybees, so beekeepers are often concerned about their presence.
Wasps create nests made of a paper-like material, filled with small holes in which they lay their eggs. They build nests anywhere that is hot and protected from the elements, such as roof overhangs, gutters, picnic tables, and sheds. Metal swing sets and playground equipment are favorite hangouts for wasps because of the small holes that allow them to enter and exit easily. Wasps are also attracted to areas with water, sugary foods and drinks, uncovered garbage cans, or smaller insects to prey upon. Wasps become fiercely aggressive when threatened by someone approaching their nest.
Nearly every home in Utah has at least one wasp nest somewhere nearby. If left untreated, a single small nest can become a big problem. The best time to take action against wasps is in the early spring before their nests are too large. However, Nature’s Balance Pest Control can step in at any time to eliminate your wasp problem.
Unlike many other insects, which can be annoying but are generally not dangerous to humans, addressing a wasp infestation in your home or yard is critical since they pose a safety risk to children and pets. Wasps can be aggressive, and their stings can be painful and even dangerous for those with allergies.
Keep an eye out for any potential entry points for wasps, such as gaps around windows, doors, or vents, and seal them off with caulk. Wasps are attracted to sweet scents, so it’s also helpful to keep food and garbage sealed and put away. As with most pests, it’s easier to remove them when the infestation is still small, so try to keep an eye out and inspect and address any potential issues before they become big problems.
