Wasps like hornets or yellowjackets are aggressive, territorial insects that create their nests in higher, elevated locations. It’s not uncommon to accidentally walk close to a nest outside your front door and get a faceful of buzzing wasps. To keep wasps away from settling near your home, you’ll need to take precautions to directly combat conducive conditions, so in this video, we’ll go over different things you can do to prevent wasps from creating nests on your property.

In order to keep wasps away from your home, the first thing you should do around your property is to see how you can clean it up. Lawns that aren’t maintained and cleaned regularly are more likely to attract wasp activity. Wasps can forage for left-out food or organic garbage, and they can use leaf litter or overgrowth as shelter.

First, rake leaves on your lawn and pick up other debris like fallen bark or branches. Take care to not leave any food out (including any pet food) and make sure to throw all trash away into sealable garbage bins. Drain any sources of standing water, like bird baths or plant pots after rainfall.

To prevent wasps from establishing nests on your structures, you’ll need to apply a residual insecticide like Sylo. Sylo is a Emulsifiable Concentrate made with Cypermethrin. This will keep wasps from establishing nests on treated areas for up to 90 days. We recommend you apply Sylo to your structures with a handheld pump sprayer to make mixing and application quick and easy. Before starting any treatment, be sure to wear your proper personal protective equipment, or PPE, and remember to keep all people and pets off the treated areas until they run dry.

Treat areas where wasps can establish nests like under eaves or underneath patio roofing. You can also apply this solution as a barrier application around your home. Just create the barrier by spraying 3 feet up the structure and 3 feet out. Then be sure to treat entry points like around doors and windows.

In some cases, wasps can find ways into homes and establish nests inside. This potential nightmare situation can be avoided by using exclusion products to deny wasps entry into the structure. Common exclusion products include caulk and copper mesh. Use these to seal tight cracks and crevices and block voids on the outer or inner perimeters of your structure.

For spaces you can’t seal, like the weep holes along your foundation, you may want to consider using a product like D-Fense Dust. D-Fense Dust is a dry, water-resistant insecticidal dust that can be applied to voids, cracks and crevices to stop many flying and crawling pests from invading structures. To use D-Fense Dust, you’ll need a handheld duster with a long, narrow spout to treat tight cracks and crevices. Fill the duster about halfway with dust and leave plenty of room for air circulation. Squeeze the duster to apply the product. Apply D-Fense Dust towards the evening, when wasp activity is low. Treat any voids that insects are able to use to invade your structure. D-Fense Dust can be applied indoors as well to treat tight cracks and crevices that invading pests can use to shelter in.
