Stinging Insect Control; What Attracts Wasps My Yard, House, Playhouse Building etc in Bridgeton, NJ

While there is a lot of talk about saving the bee population to keep humanity safe, wasps are a whole other problem. They are much more aggressive and seem to be taking over every BBQ you may have during the warmer months of the year. There are some attractants that you may have on your property and need to get rid of to stop attracting these aggressive stinging insects to your property. Ross Environmental Solutions is here to talk about what is attracting all the wasps to your property and what you need to do to avoid them in the future.

What Do Hornets & Paper Wasps Eat

Where you find wasps will greatly depend on the time of the year that you see them in certain areas. Unlike bees, wasps don’t just search for fragrant flowers and sugary foods. During the spring and summer months, they will be looking for protein based foods. This would include other insects, meats that are left out after a BBQ and even the meat you throw away in your garbage throughout the week. During the fall months leading up to the winter, they will be searching for sweeter foods. If you have fruit trees, they will definitely be attracted to them during the harvest season.

How to Keep Wasps from Building Nests

If wasps are finding an excellent food source on your property, they will also be looking for the perfect place to build their nest. The queen will be looking for cracks and holes in your homes structure that will allow her to keep her colony safe and protected from weather. If you have any broken panels on your home or cracks and holes in siding, these areas should be repaired to avoid queen wasps from trying to hibernate there when the weather starts to cool off. If there are any holes in your lawn or low lying areas, they should be filled in because wasps will also take advantage of these areas as well to build their home in a burrow.

Wasps & Hornets Living Under Decks

One of the best places for wasps to find a place to build their nest is around your deck. If there are cracks and crevices that wasps keep building their nests in on your deck, fill in these gaps to avoid the problem in the future.

Plants that Attract & Repel Wasps

Fragrant flowers are always going to attract wasps. There are several plants that will actually repel wasps though. You should consider planting spearmint, thyme, citronella, eucalyptus or wormwood which do a great job at keeping wasps away.
