No, wasps do not die after stinging. They can sting you multiple times with no harm done. This is one of the reasons why wasps are problematic pests. They will sting you if you get too close to their nests or if you are bothering them in any way. A simple wasp sting can be quite painful. And, for some, they may trigger an allergic reaction. If there are wasps on your property and you need help, give us a call. We provide effective wasp control solutions in Oakville and beyond: 647-560-0992.
Wasps are common in backyards, parks, and areas where there are awnings and places for the insects to attach their nests. In the spring, queens awaken from a deep sleep, then choose a place to nest. Here, they build their nests by themselves, then lay eggs inside them. Wasp queens are busy during this cycle, foraging for food, caring for their grubs, and continuing to build their nests. Within a few weeks, they have colonies of a few dozen or even hundreds of wasps. Wasp nests get bigger over the summer, then die off as the weather gets cold again.
How to Get Rid of Wasps
Wasps will go away naturally, but in the meantime, they can be quite the hassle. If you cannot locate the nest, try setting a few traps around the yard. You can make your own by cutting a 2L bottle in half, pouring some fruit juice into the bottom, then inverting the top of the bottle into the bottom to create a funnel. Wasps that go foraging for food will go into the bottom and drown in the juice. Alternatively, you can find traps at the hardware store or by contacting an exterminator. Place these anywhere you don’t want to see wasps.
If you do spot a nest on your property, purchase an insecticide for wasps and wait for nightfall. Then, put on some pants, long sleeves, and garden gloves. Approach the nest while it is dark out, then spray it thoroughly with the insecticide. Repeat the following night as needed. Within a few days, every wasp will be gone, and you can remove the nest. If you need a ladder to reach the nest, contact a professional. Technicians have the training and safety equipment to get rid of nests safely, no matter how difficult they are to reach.
