How to get rid of wasp's
Habitat and how to deal with wasp's
Wasp are terrestrial. They live underground, on trees, under logs or rocks, or in buildings. Some wasps turn crevices into nests under roof overhangs and behind siding.
Eating Habits of wasp's.
Most wasps are opportunistic omnivores. This means they will eat a lot of different foods and aren’t very picky, though again, this can depend on the type of wasp and its stage in life as well as the season.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common food preferences among most wasps.
- Sugary “human” foods: If you’re having a picnic, wasps may be attracted to the area by the scents of your jelly, lemonade or fruit juice, and desserts. Much like sugar ants, most wasps have a preference for sugary sweet foods and aren’t picky when it comes to this food group.
- Honey: Some types of wasps will invade honeybee hives to steal their honey. If you leave a honey jar sitting open outside, you’ll soon find that it has attracted a variety of potentially unwanted insects, including wasps.
- Fruit: Many wasps will eat fruit, particularly if it is overripe or spoiling. Some wasps will even become “intoxicated” from eating overripe fruit that has begun to ferment!
- Excretions from larvae: Wasps will frequently eat sugary excretions produced by their own larvae. The larvae produce these excretions as a by-product of their own diet, which is vastly different from that of the adult wasps, as we’ll see in a minute.
- Honeydew from sapsuckers: Aphids and other sap-sucking insects produce similar secretions as wasp larvae; these secretions are collectively known as honeydew. Wasps will suck this honeydew directly from the backsides of sap-sucking insects.
- Insects: Most adult wasps don’t eat insects; instead, they hunt them and feed them to their larvae. Wasp larvae feed almost entirely on a variety of insects, especially caterpillars, beetles, spiders, ants, crickets, and even cicadas.
- Carrion: Some adult wasps will also take bits of dead animals and insects back to their nest. Again, they don’t eat this themselves, but carrion can provide an extra boost of nutrition for their larvae.
- Meat and trash: Some wasps will collect bits of “human food” for their larvae, such as bits of meat, bread crust, vegetable pieces, and more. Some even make regular visits to dumpsters to see what they can find inside.
Popular Wasps you'll see at your party.
Paper Wasp, European Paper Wasp, Eastern Yellow Jacket, German Yellow jacket, Southern Yellow Jacket, Western Yellow Jacket, European Paper Wasps, Dark Paper Wasp.
These are the most common types we see around our favourite times with family and friends and food and drinks. Just place your trap out of the way and out of sight and let good time go without those pests.
Drabb has a trap perfect for the kitchen too.
Adult house flies mostly feed on decaying matter, sugar or flower nectar. Sometimes they also feed on honeydew left by aphids. House flies do not have mouth parts that allow it to chew.
Larvae of house fly feed on organic matter found near the breeding site. They have a curved hook like structure with their mouth and they use it to scrape off small solid pieces of food and consume them.
Drabb is the Solution.
Great for wasps and flies, using the same bait and being out of sight with an easy to use design. Use it inside and out with our durable reusable construction the blends into any environment.
