Our Tulsa pest control company is equipped to assist you in managing wasps and other stinging insects. Wasps are pests that invade our homes. They are social insects that live in colonies. Wasps species are grouped into social and solitary wasps. These pests are beneficial to nature but can also pose a danger to us when they live near us. They can sting when they feel threatened by you, and your loved ones. Social wasps are dangerous because they live in colonies and can attack in groups. There are over 30,000 known species of wasps but, the paper, hornet, and yellowjacket wasps are the most common types. In this article, let’s take a look at wasps, their process of reproduction, and how you and your Tulsa pest control company will eliminate them from your home.
Wasps Reproduction
To sustain the population of wasps, the queen in the colony ensures the colony survives from season to season. The reproduction process involves the queen, workers, and male wasps. Each of them plays a crucial role in bringing life into the colony. The queen usually survives the winter. It hibernates as soon as spring arrives and starts to build its nest where it will lay eggs. The male wasps are called drones. These drones mate with the female during flight as they search for where to establish a new colony.
The queen stores the sperm that she will use and fertilizes her eggs while the drone dies off after mating. During spring and summer, the queen lays about 200 fertilized eggs daily which hatch into larvae. The workers feed these larvae, insects and nectar depending on the species of wasp. These larvae spin a cocoon which they protect themselves with. After about 1 to 2 weeks, the larvae undergo metamorphosis into pupal stage and then to adulthood. This process takes place every year.

Wasp Control by Tulsa Pest Control
Being that wasps nest close to humans and our homes, they can sometimes pose a threat to us and our families, especially our kids. They are seen as pests because they can grow in population and nest close to our living spaces, making it easy to disturb them. When they feel threatened, they can sting any of our loved ones even without warning. Their sting is very painful and, in rare cases, can cause allergies or life-threatening complications. To keep these insects at bay, it’s important to invite professional exterminators. Broken Arrow Exterminator will assist in controlling and preventing them from causing further harm to you and your family. Check out our reviews!
