Remove and relocate the wasp nest
Young wasp queens survive their winter starvation in safe hideaway. In spring, they lay eggs, for which they build nests. For this they are looking for suitable places, where dry gloom attracts many queens. Hollow tree trunks and attics are just as suitable as scales. Roller shutter boxes and other human areas also invite nesting. After that nests grow in principle enormously, like wasp peoples. Their members perform useful functions in nature. Moreover, they do not intend to attack us without our aggression. However, wasps often see inadvertent touches or unnecessary defensive moves as attacks.
Minimum distance for nesting moves
Defensive wasps occasionally end up with stings? in rare cases with fatal consequences, such as for small children and allergy sufferers. Rare, large swarm attacks with hundreds of bites may even kill adult, non-allergic individuals. But almost always a coexistence of wasp nests and humans can be arranged. If this fails, the legally protected insects will require their removal. We also carry beekeeper suits that protect your face and hands. Suitable targets are located more than two kilometers from the original nesting site: in the event of shorter relocations, female workers often inadvertently control the old nesting position.
Basic techniques when moving
Especially early in the day, as well as after the end of dusk, there are relocations: All the members of the nest are then there. With spray bottles we inject water into the building, which briefly robs its inhabitants of their flying capacity. From then on, we touch and move nests gently and protect their sensitive honeycombs. With a large net, we then surround the nest and prevent its occupants from crawling outbreak. Then we solve the wasp house gently with spatulas from the ground, such as walls and ceilings. Immediately thereafter resettlements happen very quickly by car: In the boot the nest rests safely in a closed box.
Tenancy law and prevention of nest buildings
Tenants leave as dangerous regarded nests immediately at the expense of their landlord remove. For example, wasp nests on balconies create dangers for smaller children. If nests can not be relocated privately, firefighters do this work. But the forced evictions of the black-and-yellow lodgers are not even better. We prevent the settlement of queens: We seal openings to popular building sites, if possible. Often, fly screens can be attached to shaft entrances. Insect nets allow free opening of attic hatches.
As a further strategy, we ensure unpleasant conditions for settlement. Economical LED lights illuminate dark corners and devalue them as building sites. Humidifiers create unloved indoor climate for wasps. Anyone who focuses on particularly ecological solutions may try their luck with predators, such as spiders. However, wasps are considered quite belligerent.
