Before you can learn about wasp control, you need to know which wasps are in the area. In about any Reno backyard, you could find one of the following wasp species:
Wasps play an essential role in the ecosystem, but they don't do much to make your yard a safe place. While wasps are pollinators and help the local plants thrive, they're also dangerous. Sure, wasps aren't malicious and out for blood. They are, however, protective and ready to sting.
If you have an allergy to wasp venom, you could have a severe or even deadly reaction. And because wasps sting so many times, there’s a chance you could be stung enough times to develop an allergy. It’s imperative you don’t allow too many wasps hanging around your Reno property.
There are things you can do to ensure that wasps don’t take over your yard. For instance, you can change up your landscaping. Certain plants, like lemongrass and basil, deter wasps. You can try placing them in strategic locations to deter wasps.
Other plants attract wasps, so be cautious about what you plant. If you have many flowering plants, Reno wasps will make their way into your yard. Similarly, bushy shrubs provide harboring places for wasps. You can trim them back to minimize the risk of running into a wasp.
Other tips for wasp control include:
Unfortunately, these methods alone won’t keep your property safe. Wasps will find a reason to encroach onto your yard, and they probably will build a few nests. On your own, you can’t keep wasps away or safely remove nests. You may end up getting stung or leaving your home vulnerable and welcoming to wasps of all kinds.
