How to Spot a Wasp Nest:
1. Visual Identification: Wasps often build nests in secluded, covered areas similar to those found underneath patio furniture covers. Their nests are made of a papery substance and can vary in size and shape, often resembling a ball or an umbrella.
2. Wasp Activity: Frequent wasp activity near a specific area is a strong indicator of a nearby nest. If you notice wasps coming and going from a particular spot, it’s worth investigating further.
3. Noise: Wasps can be quite noisy, especially when agitated. Listen for a consistent buzzing sound which can indicate a wasp nest presence.
How to Get Rid of Wasp Nests Safely:
1. Wear Protective Clothing: Ensure you are fully covered to avoid getting stung. Wear long sleeves, gloves, and protective eyewear.
