Anticimex: Lure the wasps away

Many people probably recognize themselves in the image of a summer dinner out in the green which is suddenly invaded by a bunch of wasps.

To avoid the wasps getting too close, Anticimex advises wearing clothes in neutral colors, as strong colors attract wasps.

It can also be beneficial to avoid sweet perfumes and cover sweet foods when eating out. The reason is that wasps are drawn to sugary scents.

If you place something sweet-smelling some distance from the table, the wasps can be drawn to that place, instead of disturbing during dinner.

At the dinner table, you should also avoid drinking from a can or dark bottle that has been unattended for a while. A wasp sting in the neck can be serious.

Then we know how to deal with wasps out in the wild, but what can be done to stop the wasps from building a nest on the property?

Well, even that has Anticimex the answer to. To help worried homeowners, they have compiled a list of tips:

  • If you see a flying wasp in the yard during the spring, follow it to locate if it is building a nest.
  • Install insect nets for ventilation grilles and cover twig holes and other entrances to the house. This can stop the wasps from building a nest in these places.
  • Keep the plot, patio and balcony clean of spills and rubbish, as the smell from rubbish bins can attract wasps.
  • Do you already have a nest on the plot? If it is still as small as a ping-pong ball, you can remove it yourself. Remove it in the evening when the wasps are lethargic, wear protective clothing and wear a hat and gloves.
