The dangers of DIY Vancouver wasp control

As a homeowner, you’ve gotten used to taking control of things and there is a certain sense of pride you feel when you complete a task around your home. Many times home improvement projects mean a money savings and if done right, give you a feeling of accomplishment. DIY wasp control should not be one of those tasks you tackle alone however, and the reason being is that if done incorrectly, it can cost you pain, a hospital trip and a continued wasp infestation. There are many types of wasps, some solitary and some social. The social wasps that build hives together are especially dangers as many of these are quite aggressive, with a natural tendency to protect the hive at all costs. If you are seen as a threat, the pheromones they release signal the hive to attack until the threat has retreated. Unlike bees that sting once and then die, wasps can sting repeatedly, injecting a small amount of venom with each sting. The results can be catastrophic for even those not allergic to wasp stings. The body recognizes this as an attack and creates an immune response. The symptoms can be shallow breathing, dizziness, chest pain, headache, muscle aches, vomiting and much more. Emergency medical attention is required. This is not about independently conquering household projects. Somethings are best left to the professionals and that includes Vancouver wasp control.

When you see a wasp nest…

If the increase of buzzing wasps in your yard has cause you to go on a hunt for where it’s coming from, just remember a few things when you find the nest. It is extremely important that you do not:

Burn the wasp nest: This may sound odd but most wasp nests are made of a gray papery substance so a common idea is to light it on fire thinking all wasps will die and the infestation will be gone, right? Not so. This paper is extremely flammable so not only is this dangerous to your property, leading to fire within your home when this burns out of control, but it does not kill the wasps. They escape and start new hives nearby soon enough.

Spray it with a hose: Water does not kill wasps. If it did, they’d die every time there was a rainstorm. The wasps recognize YOU as their attacker, not the water and will attack and sting you with everything they’ve got. Many people are stung each year trying to spray away wasp nests and it is very ineffective.

Knock it down: Whether with a stick or a bat, knocking down a wasp nest is extremely dangerous. If you are successful, the hive falls to the ground and in a total chaotic frenzy, the wasps can swarm their enemy, which is you, resulting in a serious situation of angry wasps. Never attempt to knock down a wasp nest.
