what attracts wasps

Garbage is a huge problem and will attract all kinds of wasps and other bugs to your property. You will want to make sure to store your garbage in a tightly sealed container in your garage. Don’t let those wasps smell anything and make sure the garage door meets the ground tightly. You don’t want wasps making a nest in your garage, that would make everything much worse. 

You can also take note of your garden and grounds. Do you have a fruit tree? Do the fruit fall from the tree and rot on the ground. Do you clean up the rooting fruit or leave it on the ground. This sort of situation can be a huge factor in what comes on your property, not just wasps but wasps are especially fond of rotting fruit and other such foods. 

It is also very important to deal with your leftovers. Don’t leave the bbq dirty and make sure to clean up any food that has fallen on the ground. Children are especially bad with this and can leave food all over the place in your yard, This is very bad. You need to find the food and clean it up or you may end up with a wasps nest on your property. 

Wasps create all kinds of nests. Some wasps make nests in mud, some of then make nests in old rodent holes and burrows. Some wasps make a living in a colony as a worker and some of them are loners and make their nests in trees in small half-spheres they use to protect themselves. 

Whatever the wasp species is you can get rid of them without much mus or fuss. Make sure to attack the nest at night. Don’t bother trying to take them out in the day time because they are far too active. Get lots of insecticide spray, two cans, and make sure to wear full covering clothing and a beekeepers hat when you do this, and strong leather gloves. Empty all the insecticide into the nest and then leave it for a month, not all the wasps will die but enough that you can rip the nest out from where ever it is and dispose of it.
