Wasps and bees almost look like insects. However, the former insect is a possible threat to your surroundings. And if you find a good number of wasps around your home or in the garden, then the possibilities are high that you’re harbouring a wasp nest. Therefore when you have information on them, it’s time to call wasp control and nest removal.
Before going any further with the removal process, it is better to understand their nature. Normally they don’t bother humans. However, due to the overcrowded hive, they start to clash in-between themselves, resulting in entering the vicinity of human lives. They can sting several times repeatedly. During the autumn season, they start fermenting their collection. And this situation calls for some pest control, as they become toxic with the fermented honey.
Types Of Wasp Nest
To remove the wasp nest, first, you need to find the nest. If you’re not sure about the exact location, try to follow their regular activity. Such as, when they take flight, how many you can see at a time, etc. after a few days, you can sort on a single location from where they are coming and going. After that, it is easy to locate the wasp nest.
After finding the nest you have to know which type of nest it is. There are various types of wasp nests based on their species.
In most cases, we can see yellow-coloured layers with tight hexagonal combs, made up of waxy material in our surrounding. These types of wasp nests are of honey bees. Also, they are less aggressive compared to their other species. If you find a honey bee nest in your garden, then you can contact any residential pest control services. They will transfer the hive without harming the nest. The honey bees are a very crucial insect for the environment.
- If you see any umbrella-shaped wasp nest in the corners of your home or garden, then probably you have a paper wasp nest. The name comes from the shape of the nest due to their stalk-like holding with a flaring hive.
- Unlike other hives, hornet hives have a single opening with a smooth papery like a wall. It almost looks like a football with a pointy bottom.
- It is unfortunate if you have yellow jackets in your surroundings. To find a yellow jacket nest, you need to keep keen eyes on every small hole in your home or any bumpy structures on the ground. Another characteristic feature of the yellow jacket is that they always stay in large groups. And a single wasp nest can accommodate about two thousand yellow jackets.
