Wasps
Problems
Wasps can be regarded generally as usefull insects, helping to control other pests and cleaning up dead insect carcasses. They can even act as pollinators, but in general they are regarded as nuisance pests and a threat to health. Many people have a genuine phobia against them, in some cases with good reason.
Wasp stings may be unpleasant to most of us, but to some they can prove fatal. The ability of these social insects to inflict multiple stings means that for certain individuals, they can kill.
Control
Despite a high mortality rate, the need to control wasps is becoming more and more obvious, especially as the number of infestations appears to be increasing.
Historically, there have been nine principle ways to apply this control:
- Killing hibernating or spring queens
- Nest Destruction
- Insecticidal baiting
- Trapping
- Electric fly killers
- Contact Insecticides
- Preventative measures
- Biological Control
- Integrated Wasp Control
