WASP EXTERMINATION
Hornets and wasps start nesting as summer approaches. Their favourite places are window sills, walls, cracks in roofs and eaves, and attics. Wasp extermination is mandatory to protect your environment.
In late summer, the hatchlings fly out of the nest to mate, disrupting the cycle of the colony, which often consists of 5000 or more individuals. The insects then visit our homes in search of food. They are usually attracted by sweets left on terraces and outdoor cafés, or by fruits and berries picked in gardens.
Wasp and hornet stings are very painful and particularly dangerous for allergic people. A wasp can sting more than once, as it does not leave a sting like bees. It is advisable to monitor your body’s reaction to the sting – if you feel dizzy, you should seek medical attention immediately. If a wasp is a daily nuisance, and there are likely to be more in the vicinity, you will benefit from professional wasp nest removal. We work in Vilnius and Kaunas.

HOW TO EXTERMINATE WASPS?
It is also possible to partially eradicate insects on your own by buying the necessary tools, but this is not recommended due to the specific nuances and safety issues involved. You need to know their diurnal cycle and whether hornets and wasps return to nest at night.
Also, aerosol cans sold in shops are usually not very effective. These insects can inform each other when they are in danger, so if you kill one wasp or hornet near a nest, chances are that a flock of ‘soldiers’ will arrive to defend the area.
EXTERMINATING WASPS OUTDOORS
An outdoor shelter or gazebo where people often eat various fruits or berries should be covered, as the smell is sure to attract many . It is impossible to prevent these insects from settling – no one is immune.
Unless you keep an eye out in spring for wasps, which are queen hornets that can make their nests. As long as the nest is very small, about the size of a tennis ball, you can destroy it yourself. However, if the nest is the size of a human head, it is better to contact a pest control specialist and not risk your health.
ERADICATION OF WASPS BY FOLK METHODS
Also, not only can various folk methods not eradicate wasps, but you can also provide a certain part of the colony with free food.
The most common myth is that a wasp nest can be harvested and destroyed at night because it is supposedly sleeping. However, this is not true, wasps are less active at night, but if their dormancy is disturbed, wasps can quickly prepare a defensive position. In this case, it is better to contact professionals who are knowledgeable in wasp extermination.
A POPULAR MYTH IN WASP CONTROL
It is a popular myth that wasps can be protected against by Cobra wasp killer, water in a glass mixed with honey or sugar, or watered-down jam in a bottle with holes cut in it. Unfortunately, such initiatives by residents often have a sad outcome. We advise you not to exterminate hornets and wasps yourself, as this is quite dangerous to health and even life.
