WASP
They see you - They follow you - They attack
Aggressive little foes; Wasp control is one of the most asked questions I get in a day.
Wasp work in a colony much like ants where there is a Queen who over wintered this year and started a brood that will grow up to 1200 workers and protectors of the colony. The paper hive you see hanging around from last year will not be used again however it will attract the next years colony so get rid of it. Most hives are underground which means you need to look for those as well as the obvious ones on the eve and the ones in pipes, trailers even cars sitting idle for a few weeks. You must spray the nest or hive to get real control. Even after you think they are gone - respray the nest hole because the larvae can still hatch after the adults are gone. Be very careful when spraying and do it when it is cool in the morning - not when it is hot and they are most active.
