Wasps

Wasps don’t usually cause damage to homes during their summer nest building however, they are disliked immensely due to their painful sting. They can access your home through a pre-existing hole, so although nests don’t often cause property damage, they may be a sign of broken roof shingles or damaged garden shed panels. If wasp nests are left for a long time, you may notice the signs of wood damage nearby. While it’s possible to get rid of wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets on your own, remember that they can be dangerous, especially in large numbers, so if you’re in doubt, it’s best to call a pest control specialist.

Of course, if you are allergic to these stings, you need to take precautions and seek outside help. Blocking a nest is one of the worst ways to deal with this problem as when confined in a tight space they will quickly become agitated. If blocked in, these insects can chew through plasterboard, wood, and various other materials to find a way out. You can try mixing a tablespoon of peppermint oil with 4 cups of water and spraying it as a repellent if you’re looking for a natural DIY solution.
