Your Tulsa pest control company can help you if you have a problem with wasps. Wasps are stinging insects that could get into our homes and our yards and cause a problem for us if they sting one of our loved ones. Keeping them away from your house, porches and play areas is of utmost importance. Especially if there are people with wasp allergies at home. This article looks at wasps, their life cycle with you and what your Tulsa pest control company can do to stop these stinging insects from getting anywhere near you or your loved ones.

winter wasps

One of these insects is most likely to become a pest in the late spring, fall and summer months. They can also be a problem in the winter. To get over winter, the male and female will make one last time before the end of fall. Once the cold weather comes in the males will die off, but the females will find a place to overwinter. This can be a gap, a tree, a hole in the ground or any place that she can bury herself as deep into something as possible. Then she’ll wait for the warm weather of spring to come. If a female wasp finds it’s a spot in a place such as under a loose shingle or behind a piece of siding, then they could be fooled by the heat that you will likely do to your home during the winter months. 

The heat from your heater will convince them spring has arrived, and they will start coming inside. They will wake up thinking spring has arrived if they can get in. Once they emerge from overwintering, they must find nectar immediately. If they don’t find this nectar in the first 20–30 minutes, they will die of starvation because they’ve been going all winter without any food. They will die quickly because your home has no nectar-producing flowers. Contact your Tulsa pest control company for help with wasps.
