Wasps Thrive in Late Summer and Autumn
For some, the end of summer may mean the end of flip-flops and lazy days by the pool, but it certainly doesn’t signal the end of wasp season. In fact, this season, the wasp population is reaching its greatest numbers, having had an entire summer to breed. Wasp and other insect stings send more than half a million people to the emergency room each year, with the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) reminding people to take extra care to avoid wasp stings and infections.
Wasps are known for their unprovoked aggression. In the late summer months, these insects are busy gathering food for the colder months to come and are often attracted to house hives and trees, making them more likely to sting. Proper pest control is key to protecting them from pain.
Homeowners inspect their properties frequently for signs of wasp infestation. They usually build their nests under eaves, on ceiling beams in attics, garages, and sheds, and on porches. If you find a nest at home or suspect an infestation, it is essential to hire an insect professional. Attempts to remove the nest can be extremely dangerous, as wasp colonies may have as many as 15,000 members.
Here are the following tips that help you to protect your home from wasp encounters:
- Wear shoes when outside, especially in grassy areas.
- Do not leave drinks or food in open areas.
- Get the windows and doors checked thoroughly.
- Keep garbage in a sealed container.
- Do not swat at the wasp as this increases the chances of an aggressive reaction.
If wasp stings, seek immediate medical attention, as reactions can be severe.
