Three Ways to Spot a Wasp Infestation

Wasp infestations can be difficult to detect because a wasp nest can be built into almost any tiny cavity, which keeps it hidden from sight. Here are a few ways, however, that will help you to identify a wasp problem.

1. Traffic Pattern

Do you see wasps coming and going?  A good indication of a nest is the regularity with which the wasps enter and exit the property.

2. Flying In and Out of Crevices

A sure sign that a hive is present is seeing wasps fly in and out of the gaps and cracks in your roof area. The only reason they have to enter these kinds of openings is to reach the hive.

3. Gathering in Great Numbers

When large numbers of wasps gather around trash or food, this is likely a sign of an infestation. The hive is probably nearby due to the high number of wasps that swarm the food.

An increased number of wasps around your home, indicates that they have traveled from a nearby nest. The closer they are to the hive, the denser their presence will be. Don’t follow the swarm to the hive, and don’t try to remove it yourself. For safe and proper wasp removal in Cary, please visit the website.
