Observation
Remotus quickly identifies these buzzing threats. Wasps are slender, typically yellow and black insects with narrow waists and smooth bodies. They build papery nests in trees, under eaves, and even in attics or wall voids. Remotus warns you to be cautious, as wasps are often seen flying around food sources or water during the warmer months, especially near their nests, which they aggressively defend.
Outlook
Remotus knows the risks well. Wasps can sting multiple times, unlike bees, and their stings can cause pain, swelling, and in some cases, severe allergic reactions. They become particularly aggressive if they feel their nest is threatened. Remotus suggests staying clear of wasp nests and taking swift action to remove them to avoid potential stings. Effective treatment usually takes a few days to a week, involving the safe removal of nests and applying insecticides to prevent their return, followed by regular monitoring.
Gateways
Remotus understands how they get in. Wasps can enter your home through small gaps in siding, vents, or open windows, and they often build nests in sheltered outdoor areas. Remotus advises sealing any entry points and inspecting around your home regularly, especially in the spring and summer when nests are more likely to be built.
