Your Broken Arrow pest control can help you remove wasps from your home. Wasps are a member of a group of insects in the order of Hymenoptera, suborder Apocrita, some of which are stinging insects. They are distinguished from ants and bees by
various behavioral and physical characteristics, particularly their possession of a slender, smooth body and legs with relatively few hairs. Wasps also generally are predatory or parasitic and have
stingers with few barbs that can be removed easily from their victims.
Wasps have biting mouthparts and antennae with 12 or 13 segments. They are normally winged. Wasps are subdivided into two groups which are Solitary wasps, which live alone,
and Social wasps, which live in colonies. The vast majority of wasps are solitary in habit. The social wasps are confined to about 1,000 species within the family Vespoidea, and include the hornets and yellow jackets. They differ from other wasp families in having their wings folded longitudinally when at rest. Contact your Broken Arrow pest control for wasp treatment and removal.
Fear of Wasp
The fear of wasps is called spheksophobia, and the sufferer experiences an extreme panic attack at the sight or even thought of wasps. As a result, they develop fear which is nature’s way of
preparing the body for danger. In this situation, like in the case of fear of bees too, fear of wasps can be great self-limiting. The phobic simply refuses to go outside or near a wasp-infested house because of fear of being stung.
Wasps do not leave their stinger in the human skin, rather they can withdraw and reuse it on their victims over and over. The sting of a wasp leaves behind extremely painful and burning sensations. Those with sensitive skin also experience swelling, redness, and severe inflammation in the bitten area which often lasts for days.
Wasp Prevention and Control by Broken Arrow Pest Control
Preventing wasps by removing attractants and sealing access points is also just as important as preventing wasps when trying to keep their populations under control. There are possible ways
to prevent and control wasps. As mentioned, the first thing to do is to remove all food sources that attract them. Wasps are attracted to sweet foods that have sugar. Also, fruits spilled drinks, and syrups can also bring them into your home.
Clean spilled drinks, cover food sources, and remove rotten fruits from your home. Additionally, seal off their entry and exit points through which they gain access to your home. Install nets on your doors and windows to prevent them from flying through when they are open.
