Wasps are not alone in this world and while they can sting a dog or a raccoon enough to keep it away they cannot sting a bear. Many animals eat wasps. Mammals like rodents, dogs, wolves, and even felines will snap at a wasp. Birds live off wasps and the woodpecker is the master of that domain. They can eat the carpenter bee which is generally impossible to access due to their ability to burrow into wood. The wasp however is open and in an accessible nest and many creatures want to get their hands on them. If you have a wasp nest on your property, however, do not rely on your pets to save the day. They are not wild animals and cannot fight off a swarm of wasps or anything else. In the wild, these creatures mingle and interact. In your home, they must be kept separate. So if you have a nest on your property you will want to get them exterminated before they attack your pets or children.
If you suspect wasp presence anywhere near or on your property, contact Wasp Control Oshawa for quick and safe removal.
Wasps are very aware of these predators which is why they try to build their nests in hard-to-reach secluded areas. The most successful of these is the yellowjacket which builds nests in the ground. They can dig their whole but the queen prefers abandoned rodent holes so she can get to raising her larva. When they mature the queen lays back and produces eggs, only. The workers take on the rest of the work building the nest and feeding the larva. When the nest has gotten large enough the queen stops producing eggs and the wasps get “bored” they search for sweet foods and become much more aggressive because they have all the time in the world to do so. Before they spent all their time building a nest and hunting insects to feed to larvae. Now they want your ice cream and soda and you better give it to them because they attack in a swarm and a large percent of the population has allergies to wasps and bees.
The best way to handle an infestation of wasps, whether small or large is to call an exterminator. At Pest Control Oshawa we can kill that nest in one hour, remove it and destroy it and the queen. We can then leave a residual treatment on the area that will kill any wasps that try to return to the nest to sleep at night. This treatment is highly effective but just in case we give a 6-month warranty to give you the peace of mind you need to focus on your home and family.
