How to get rid of wasps with a minimal threat to yourself?

Wasps that built a nest in the country houseIn the neighborhood of the house or directly in it, your enemies. How to get rid of wasps? The task is not easy. Beginning the war with the colony of wasps, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare, be reserved for endurance and courage. Why is the peaceful coexistence of wasps and humans impossible in principle? There are several reasons.

• The Wasp harms the harvest of fruit in the garden in the country.
• It can be a vector of infections.
• The insect inflicts severe pain with its bite and can attack for no apparent reason.
• Wasp venom can cause a severe allergic reaction, a possible fatal outcome.

Possible nesting sites

Most often these insects live next to a human. They choose places, access to which is difficult for people. For example, under the roof of a house, on a balcony, loggias, in all kinds of hollow shelters, for example, in a hollow, they live in the ground in so-called mink. Good for os all the cracks and holes in the floor, metal pipes, voids under the walls of the dacha.

With the first spring days the wasps begin to wake up after a winter sleep, the female insects are looking for suitable places for building nests. Getting into the apartment or on the balcony, the wasp explores the situation, makes a small nest in a secluded corner under the roof and displays the offspring there. It will be about four weeks, and striped babies in the amount of 5-7 individuals will fly around your house or next to it.

Often, wasps do not take root in the house, but near the window, they bite into a heater or a tree, or even into a cement solution, they make tunnels there. And get them from there oh how difficult.

Wasps get used to one place: if they appeared near your home this year, then in a year they will return again. The highest activity of these insects is observed with the advent of autumn, at this time they are very evil and often sting without reason.

Striped villains eventually form whole colonies. The nest of an insect often looks like a ball with holes and passages, which is attached one side to something solid( for example, a wall under a roof).

How should we behave when we meet with a special one?

Observance of simple rules will help you avoid serious consequences from a meeting with a special one:

1. Do not make sharp movements when you see a wasp, do not beat it with your hands. It can anger her. It is better to behave calmly, not to move.
2. Be careful with bare feet on the ground, do not go close to the old hollows. In the ground and hollow of a tree, wasps can live.
3. Insects love moisture, even a drop of sweat attracts them. After bathing, quickly wipe the body so as not to attract the wasps.
4. If you rest in the country, make sure that everything sweet( fruits, juices, sweets) is hermetically sealed. Do not tempt the aux lovers.

Well, if the meeting with the special ended with a bite? Take the necessary measures.

• Remove the stinger if it remains at the bite site.
• A piece of ice will help remove the swelling.
• You can apply Prednisolon ointment or attach a bandage soaked in a soda solution( 100 g of water plus a teaspoon of soda).
• Folk remedies: garlic, parsley or onion.
• Just in case, keep medicines that remove an allergic attack( for example, Suprastin): a person does not always know that he is allergic to aspen poison.
• Call an ambulance team if there are signs: face swelling, convulsive syndrome, frequent pulse, spasm of the bronchi, pain in the heart, joints or lumbar region. Procrastination can carry a mortal threat.

We begin war with wasps

To begin with, you can try to prevent the appearance of unwanted guests in your home. When building a house or carrying out repairs, think about where there might be potential places for aspen nests( in the attic, under the roof, under the walls), treat them with special preparations for killing and scaring off the wasps.

You can purchase in the store special repellers( imitators of aspen nests).They are very similar in appearance to the house for striped villains. If the female flies on reconnaissance to your house, she will understand that the place is already occupied.

Folk remedy: you can hang a bunch of red pepper next to the roof of the house, it will scare off harmful insects. For the same purpose, ordinary table vinegar is useful: if you sprinkle them on curtains or furniture fabric, the wasps will not want to visit your house.

If you can not scare away the unpleasant creatures, you will have to move to decisive measures.

Council

Only complete destruction of the aspen den will save you from wasps once and for all. If you begin to exterminate only the inhabitants of this nest, the surviving family members will certainly return and the clan will revive again.

How to get rid of wasps if the colony of striped insects in the countryside has grown very much? Do not risk yourself, it is better to seek help from specialists( pest control).

The main methods of combating

The struggle against wasps must be conducted in two directions: killing individual individuals and destroying their nests.

Set traps and lure

You can purchase a device to catch the wasps in the store or make a trap yourself( it will not be worse).How to make?

Choose a suitable dish: it should be with a narrow neck, so that, having penetrated inside, the wasp could not get out. Fill the dishes with a sweet, odorous, viscous liquid( honey, old thickened jam).You can use a plastic bottle. After cutting off the top part, turn it upside down and insert it into the remaining lower part. Putting a sweet bait into it, you will catch a lot of wasps. The edges of this trap oil, striped sweet tooth will easily slip into the formed funnel from the bottle. If you add a poison to a poisoned oasis, then the miraculously selected individuals can not fly far away.

How to remove the wasps from the balcony? There is one simple and successful variant of catching wasps. Crusts from watermelon or melons to treat toxic substance( but without a strong smell!) And spread out on the balcony near the hornet's nest. Having tried the sweet poison, the striped guests will perish themselves and destroy other members of the aspen family, bringing poison to their home.

Make a drink for the wasps. Fragrant flower in a pot placed in a container of water. Add an odorless, insecticide to the water. When the winged creatures want to drink water, they will wait for an unpleasant surprise.

Using brute force

You can fight with a normal fly swatter or anything, than you can slam it with. If there are few wasps, and you are confident in your abilities( for a wasp can be faster and then it will be defended), then in a good way.

Dangerous insects can be sucked with a vacuum cleaner. This method is especially good when harmful creatures have not yet woken up completely and behave sluggishly.

Homemade poisoning

Mix mint oil with water( 30 drops of essence and 500 g of water) and sprinkle with osse solution. In the dispenser, you can add a liquid soap, so that the mint oil will stick to the insects.

Spray a dishwashing liquid on pests, diluted with hot water. If you use a hose, you will be able to get rid of even the aspen nest.

A few words about self-defense measures

Wasps are dangerous rivals. Entering into battle with striped villains, do not forget to protect yourself. These insects are very aggressive and unpredictable, be extremely careful in dealing with them, if not very confident in their abilities, it is better not to contact the striped horde.

Having decided to defeat the enemy, get special protective clothing. Choose a thick fabric, thick gloves made of leather or rubber, the head should have a hood and a mosquito net. Every millimeter of skin should be closed, especially take care of the face( to avoid anaphylactic shock from possible bites).

If you are going to do the destruction of the aspen nest, take the children and pets out of the house. Also take care of the presence in your medicine cabinet of the necessary medicines to provide first aid when biting dangerous insects( suprastin, ointment with prednisolone, adrenaline).Let there be pieces of ice nearby.

Getting rid of the

hornets To figure out where the striped neighbors have settled their habitation, track the flying wasps or put a bait on the plate for them. When they arrive to eat and take a little food with them, you will see where they will take their prey.

The actions you need to take will depend on the location of the socket:

• The socket is within reach;
• The nest is noticeable, but it's difficult to get to;
• The home of the wasps is located in an inaccessible place;
• Insects built a nest in the ground.

Time to destroy the nest must be chosen competently, with skill. It is best to destroy it when insects are dormant: the home of a striped family is emptying, and no one can harm you in the process of your actions.

To do the work of the liquidator it is necessary at night, when all the inhabitants of the nest are gathered in one place and peacefully sleep, not knowing nothing. So you can destroy the house and destroy the inhabitants. If you do this in the daytime, when the wasps are flying out of the nest for food, then the enraged creatures, not finding out on the return of their home, will arrange you a good swagger. They will lead a new nest, and the struggle will have to start anew.

Nest treatment with toxic agents

As such, you can use special insecticides purchased in the store. It is also possible to treat the nest with diesel fuel or gasoline by spraying the substance onto the nest and the surrounding space.

To eliminate the nest, ordinary dichlorvos will do, but it does not kill right away, first the befuddled bees can pounce on you. Therefore, it is better to first insert the nest into a tight sealed bag and, making a hole in it, spray the product into the hole( the same can be done with other poisonous substances).Duck tape with adhesive tape, tie up or tighten it to the place where the nest is fastened. After a while, remove the socket with the bag and burn it.

If it is difficult to get to the nest, you can use an extension pipe. It is attached to the sprayer, a piece of cloth is wound around the tube so that the tube tightly enters the nest, and the fabric blocks the slits of the inlet around the tube. Poison should be injected through this device.

When the socket is not visible, or it is out of the access zone, but there are moves and loopholes, they can be sprayed with a special spray. Inserting a thin tube means can be entered deeper. Entrance openings close with cotton wool soaked in a poisonous solution, and cement.

If the socket is in the ground, proceed in the same way as in the previous case: pour dichlorvos, gasoline or other means into the mink and fill with cement.

Water - a formidable weapon

How to get rid of wasps without the use of special tools? Boiled water can pour a nest or mink in the ground. If housing is inaccessible, use a watering hose.

The socket can be drowned in ordinary water by immersing it in a large deep tank. Hold the nest in the water until it gets soaked, and the wasps are not drowned.

After destruction of the aspen nest, it is necessary to clean the place to which it was attached using a knife, then treat the remaining trace with peroxide, a solution of potassium permanganate, vinegar or insecticide. Such control measure at all will repel hunting at persistent insects to return on a former place.
