Yellow jackets should be the sworn enemy of mankind. They are aggressive and they tend to pester young children, especially in the summer months.

Help get rid of yellow jackets by keeping pet food indoors alongside other protein sources. Like all other wasps, yellow jackets love protein and nothing screams "eat me!" to a wasp more than that delicious piece of soggy dog food in the water dish. To prevent drawing them into your yard, keep pet food indoors during the warmer months or find a way to cover up the food from wasps and other, similar, pests. |
| Close the garbage cans! Garbage cans seem to attract more than just dogs , cats , and raccoons these days, do they not? In fact, garbage cans are a frequented place by yellow jackets. They like to eat that leftover meat, soda and breakfast syrup that gets left behind.

Properly seal your awning and siding. You can stop yellow jackets from getting into your home by properly sealing any awning and siding that you may have. Finding a hidden wasp nest can be difficult and removing them even more so! Throwing hot water on the nests is a good way to get rid of them but be careful as they bite and sting! Cole weather kills wasps, eventually, but you'll have to seal up the entrance when that happens. |
|
|
Soda cans, sugars and proteins attract yellow jackets. Things of that nature should be sealed away or kept where yellow jackets can't get to them. According to studies that have been conducted, yellow jackets that ingested refined sugar grew faster than those who didn't. Keep a lid on drinks in the summer and don't drink them until you are sure that no yellow jackets have found their way into them. |

|
You can trap yellow jackets in traps! There are traps that are non-toxic to humans that can be set out to capture yellow jackets outside of the house. They should be set out in the warmer months before the queens start searching for nesting ground. By setting them out then, you can stop a whole colony from developing. If you set them out at the start of summer, the yellow jackets should be manageable. |

A solitary wasp can be very formidable. A lone wasp usually comes equipped with a longer, thin body and a thin waist. They are the stereotypical black and yellow colors and they are not usually vicious until disturbed. They are not very territorial and they won’t usually sting humans. Most people wouldn’t consider them pests but, rather, beneficial animals in the gardening area because they eat pests like aphids and things of that nature. If they are bugging you, however, spray the wasp with citrus oil extract. Once the citrus oil meets the wasp, it will kill it on contact. |
 |
There are also paper wasps. Paper wasps get their name due to the paper-like appearance of their nests. They are also beneficial insects and are only considered pests when they build a nest near a human home. In any other situation, paper wasp are harmless and they are very social insects. It is said that watching them build a nest is an amazing experience. The best way to kill them is to spray pressurized wasp killer into their nests at night. |
 |
Hornets can be intimidating but they aren’t always troublesome. As a species, hornets are extremely territorial but not nearly as much so as the yellow jacket. The most common wasp in the United States is the bald-faced hornet. To eliminate hornets, all you have to do is spray pressurized wasp killer into the nest entrance during the late evening hours. A flashlight is a necessity as you need to see the nest entrance.. |
 |
Yellow jackets are a type of wasp, too. Yellow jacks are extremely easy to identify because they have the thick stripes as well as a thick torso. They are extremely territorial and they can be very aggressive as well, unlike other social wasps. They are willing to die to protect their nests and they bite and sting whomever tries to take them out. When they sting they inject doses of poison into their victim before being brushed away or killed. The yellow jacket is one of the only pests in the wasp family. You can kill a yellow jacket just as you kill hornets.. |

Some pests are nothing more than annoying creatures, but some can really harm your home! Termites can cause some serious damage if left to do their will in your home. They gnaw away at wood and they can slowly work away at the frame of your house. The best way to prevent termites from getting into your home? Don’t let them in in the first place. If they have already made their way into your home, there are things that you can do to get them out! |
|
Make sure that it’s termites that are causing the damage. If it is termites that have gotten into your home, you will begin to notice rotted wood or wood that has begun to get damaged. You might also see actual termites go in and out of the wood in the warmer months. Damage might be confined to the inside, so take a drill to a piece of the wood to double check. If they really are there, you need to get rid of them. If termites really are invading your home, it’s best to call in a professional to get rid of them. However, there are some things that you can do to make their job easier. Fix any faucets or things of that nature that are broken. This will keep moisture from accumulating and will, therefore, stop producing areas that termites find suitable to house in. You can also do anything else that will reduce moisture in or around the home. Stacking firewood and things of the like off of the ground is another way to stop termites as is filling in cracks. |
|
| Between you and the exterminator, termites are history! Always contact a professional if the termites are getting serious. Once the termites have left the building, you will have to fix any damage that they might have caused. After a professional exterminates them, you are protected for five years, give or take. | |
