Common Wasp Control Methods
When wasps start buzzing around your Tennessee property, it can be a little unnerving, but you’ve got options for dealing with them. You might decide to steer clear of the areas where they’re most active, hoping they’ll leave you alone. After all, wasps can be important pollinators! But, they can cause serious harm, too. Maybe you’ll try to track down their nest and take matters into your own hands. Or, for a more effective solution, you could call in the pros. At All-American Pest Control, we’ve been helping Tennessee homeowners tackle wasp problems safely and effectively for over 60 years. If you’re looking for a stress-free way to keep your family safe and wasp-free, we’re here to help.
Why Do I Have a Wasp Infestation?
Like other pests, wasps show up on our properties for a couple of reasons. In the spring, the queen of the colony looks for a suitable place to build a nest, with adequate food and water.
Once the queen starts to build the nest, she’ll also start to lay eggs. As the first eggs hatch and the new wasps mature, you’ll begin to see an increase in wasp activity throughout the summer and into the fall.

Some of the things that attract wasps include:
-
Sweet foods, like fruit, flower nectar, and soda
-
Protein-rich foods, like meat and small insects
-
Bright colors
-
Sweet scents
-
Standing water
If you have many of these things around your yard, you’re likely to see wasp activity. For your safety, getting rid of wasps is best handled by the professionals at All-American Pest Control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Do Wasps Look Like?
Wasps are flying insects with narrow waists. They are typically black or brown with yellow markings. They have six legs and a pair of antennae. Wasps have stingers located on their hind ends. The wasps that cause us harm are called social wasps, as they live in colonies with workers that defend the nest! Other wasps, like mud daubers, are solitary and much less likely to sting.

How Do You Get Rid of Wasps Quickly?
When a wasp is buzzing around you, it’s extremely tempting to swat at it. However, the best thing to do is remain calm and use slow movements. If you make sudden movements, the wasp may feel threatened and will be more likely to sting.
If you are aware of a wasp nest on your property, the best thing to do is contact the professionals at All-American. Trying to spray it or get rid of it on your own can lead to you being attacked by a swarm of angry wasps.
