Same-Day Wasp & Bee Removal

If you are looking for some natural methods to prevent wasps and bees from infesting your yard, here are a few things you can try:

• Removing Easy Access to Food: by making sure to keep garbage cans clean, sealed, and regularly emptied. Wasps are especially attracted to sweet, sugary drinks, so make sure to wash out any containers or cans before throwing them away.
• Plant Wasp-Repellent Plants: Plant varieties such as spearmint, thyme, basil, eucalyptus, lemongrass, wormwood, citronella, marigolds, geraniums, or pennyroyals around your home to repel wasps. 
• Avoid Wasp-Attracting Plants: Plants such as sweet fennel, Queen Anne’s lace, and yarrow are actually known to attract stinging insects to your yard, so make sure to avoid having those in your yard.
• Spray Essential Oils: Certain natural oils, such as clove, geranium, peppermint, and lemongrass, are also known to repel wasps. Simply mix the 10 drops of oil, 1 tablespoon, and 1 cup of water together, shake, and fill the mixture into a spray bottle. Apply the liquid to any areas you suspect wasps might nest.
• Spray Vinegar Water: Similar to the essential oils, you can also mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it around the perimeter of your home to keep away wasps and other stinging insects.
• Set traps: Whether you make your own trap using sugar water and a plastic bottle or use a store-bought wasp trap, these traps can help keep your yard free of wasps.

While these wasp prevention methods may be effective to some extent, they are meant to keep wasps and bees away, not treat current nests. If you start noticing any stinging insects on your property, we encourage you to call our wasp exterminators immediately.
