As a homeowner, taking care of household pests is often par for the course. And while mice can often be dealt with effectively by individuals themselves, there is one type of pest that should really be left to the professionals: the dreaded wasp. These large, stinging insects can be scary – they fly erratically and can become aggressive if annoyed by humans. So before you are tempted to try to defeat the creatures yourself, it’s best to contact professionals right away for help instead of doing it yourself. Not convinced? Here are a few good reasons why you should leave wasp removal to the pros.
You Have a Life
There’s a reason that there are professionals in the pest control businesses – because it can be a full-time job, even for just one home! And let’s face it, you’re probably very busy with things that demand your attention: work, kids, pets, dinner, laundry – whatever takes up your day, there’s not a good time to go hunting for yellow jacket nests. Plus, before you get started, you’ll have to do a lot of research on how to detect the nests and what to do with them once you find them. It’s a lot of work with a hefty risk. Best leave it to the pros who already know what to do.
It Can Hurt
Getting stung by any flying creature with a stinger is no one’s idea of a good time. It hurts! Plus, if you have an allergy, you could land yourself in the hospital if you get stung, and you’ll likely end up with a pretty hefty medical bill for your treatment. Add in the fact that you may not totally know what you’re doing, and these types of accidents are far more likely to happen. When you pay a professional, though, you have the security that they know what they are doing and have professional equipment and safety measures at their control. And if something happens while they are working, they will likely have insurance to cover any incurred hospital costs. But keep in mind that because they are the pros, this doesn’t happen all that often.
Avoid the Chemicals
Getting rid of a wasp nest isn’t as easy as just spraying chemicals into the nest, which is a method favored by home pest control enthusiasts. Spraying lots of these toxic pesticides in or around the home can lead to illness for children, pets, or anyone else in the home. It’s very easy to use these chemicals incorrectly if you aren’t well-trained in how to use them. With professionals, chemicals aren’t actually needed in every case anyway, since they have a variety of tools at their disposal to effectively and humanely get rid of the wasps.
