From springtime to fall, <\/span>wasps are standard backyard visitors<\/span><\/a>. These pests forage through your flower garden, fruit trees, and berry bushes, causing you to have unwanted and often painful interactions!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While a familiar sight outdoors, wasps sometimes sneak inside, leaving you worried about how to get a wasp out of your house and avoid painful stings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep reading to learn about safe removal methods whenever you catch a stray wasp or two coming through your front door. For large-scale wasp hive removals, consider giving us a call here at proof. Pest Control!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Are Wasps Indoors?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finding a <\/span>wasp<\/span><\/a> inside your house is more common than you might think. Like ants, centipedes, and ladybugs, wasps sometimes make their way indoors by accident, usually through open doors, windows, or small gaps around vents and siding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most wasps that come inside are simply looking for food or shelter. As summer fades and flowers die off, wasps get more aggressive in their hunt for sweet substances. Indoor plants, sugary drinks, and food scraps can all attract them. While adult wasps mainly feed on nectar, they also seek out protein-rich insects to feed their larvae, which can bring them into homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you see a single wasp during the fall, it could be a <\/span>newly mated queen<\/span><\/a> searching for a place to hibernate. Queens need safe, sheltered spots to survive the winter and may stay hidden inside until spring, when they begin building new nests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing how wasps get in the house can help you prevent unwanted encounters and protect your home from future infestations.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Get a Wasp Out of Your House<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Nest<\/p>\n

When pest infestations like wasps or even stray stinging insects bother your home, you\u2019ll want to get them out quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wasps are aggressive insects. While they may not bother you while foraging, they are quick to sting once they feel threatened. Despite the need for action, we urge you to stay safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before removing wasps, make sure you can safely exit the situation to avoid a sting. Never engage with a wasp unless you\u2019re sure you can stay safe. If you have multiple inside, don\u2019t bother them. <\/span>Give us a call<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Urge it Outdoors<\/span><\/h3>\n

One lone wasp usually isn\u2019t a significant problem inside. If the pest isn\u2019t causing a bother and you want it to return outside, you can always try to push it back out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a fly swatter, you can slowly nudge the wasp toward an open window or door. Don\u2019t try to make any swift or sudden movements, though. The wasp could begin to <\/span>sting<\/span><\/a> or grow agitated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure about getting too close to the pest, you can always open a door and slowly scoot it toward the opening with a long broom. With enough urging, the wasp should get the hint and fly back out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember to keep your distance and watch the wasp\u2019s behavior. If it starts getting angry, retreat and allow some time to cool off. No one wants an accidental sting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feel brave enough? You can even place a glass over a nonmoving wasp and relocate it outside. You\u2019ll just have to catch it while it\u2019s sitting in place. Again, we urge you to be safe if you attempt this, and never try anything that may cause you harm!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blow it Away\u2013 Literally<\/span><\/h3>\n

Want to put even more distance between you and the dangerous stinging insect? Just use some air to push it outside!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While any fan should work, we suggest a tall standing fan to reach the most distance. Wasps may fly high up into your ceiling to get outdoors, and these options should help urge them toward your open door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Position your fan wherever the wasp is flying and slowly move it toward your outdoor opening. The air should calmly push it toward your desired destination, eliminating any close contact with the offending pest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t suggest blowing on a wasp physically to get them outside. Stick to the fans to play it safe. While it may make them inch away from you, it could come back with a vengeance and sting you out of anger or fear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use a Storebought Spray<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some hardware stores and online retailers offer contact sprays to eliminate pests whenever you see them. While generally applicable for roaches or ants, you can also purchase a product formulated for wasps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using these sprays can be tricky. You\u2019ll have to accurately target the wasp as it flies in the air or catch it whenever it lands. However, if you manage to spray the pest, you will probably eliminate it without much fuss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your distance when using these products, and always follow the label\u2019s instructions. When used correctly, these products shouldn\u2019t cause you harm, but only operate the product as directed to stay safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comprehensive Wasp Removal<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finding a lone wasp inside isn\u2019t terribly uncommon. However, you may have a problem if you start seeing multiple pests swarming your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never attempt to eliminate large numbers of wasps on your property or try to remove a hive. These pests are highly dangerous and <\/span>will continue to sting<\/span><\/a> any danger they believe threatens the nest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For safe, effective wasp removal, trust the experts at <\/span>proof. Pest Control<\/span><\/a>. Our team has the tools, training, and experience to eliminate wasp infestations and help protect your home from future problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
