Wasps are beneficial insects to nature but can also be a pest when they invade our space, however with the help of your Broken Arrow Exterminator, they can be safely removed from our home. They fly and forage at low temperatures. When foraging, they can help in pollinating plants and flowers. They also help with pest control by preying on garden pests like aphids which is beneficial to us and our garden.

Wasps become a problem when they sting. They can sting you and your family if they feel threatened. These pests invade our home, build their nest, occupy territories, and become hostile. Additionally, they possess stingers, located at the tip of their abdomen. This stinger is retractable and used to sting perceived enemies and prey. Wasps can cause a nuisance in summer during picnics. As they fly around in search of food, they can disturb you and your loved ones with their presence. They can be removed from your home by Broken Arrow exterminators.

Queen Wasp Hibernates In Winter

As the season changes, the queen wasp goes into hibernation come winter. This process occurs outside the nest, and in the bark of logs in wood piles, holes in the ground, or dry sheltered areas. Because the temperature is low, they hibernate in places that can keep them warm and where they can wait for the harsh weather to subside. These places must be hidden and undisturbed. The queen wasps are already mated and begin construction of their nest immediately after hibernation. Not all the queen wasps make it out of hibernation, some are killed by the weather, predators, or lack of food and other resources. If you find wasps lurking in a corner of your home, contact your Broken Arrow exterminator.

Wasp Hives and Broken Arrow Exterminator

In early spring, queen wasps emerge from hibernation. They set out to build a nest. Wasp nests are also known as hives. These wasps are built every season. This means that the hives can be safely removed during winter as they have no wasps in them. These hives are built from wood. The queen wasps chew wood mixed with saliva and make it pliable. This material is papery and texture and a bit brittle. Wasp hives can be made into different sizes and some build their nests on the ground. They look like an umbrella with many cells joined together. Contact Broken Arrow Exterminator. Check out our reviews!
