June, July and August - this is the period when gardeners are forced to solve the problem of how to destroy wasps on their own plantations. At the same time, summer residents who have just acquired plots of land and have no experience in plant protection begin to wonder: “What are wasps afraid of and how to protect trees from them?” It should be noted that this topic requires a detailed study. In solving the question of what wasps are afraid of, both folk and chemical remedies are used.
It is not a secret for anyone that the above insect causes not only harm to human health, but also destroys plants grown in personal plots, as a result of which the crop will be harvested in a much smaller volume than anticipated.
It should be noted that adults prefer to eat nectar of flowers, damage gooseberries, raspberries, apples, pears. The greatest harm to a striped insect is caused by grapes. As soon as the berries begin to slightly ripen, the wasps are already there, and they will be destroyed by both bursting and whole grapes. A similar picture develops with the apple tree: as soon as the apples have matured a bit, the attack from the wasps is guaranteed!
Dark yellow insects prefer to nest on the roofs of verandas, sheds, in the attics of houses. Gardeners have long had a tradition of burning wasp houses, they perform this procedure in the fall, when the first cold weather sets in.
Even if the nest of the insect pest is suddenly discovered at another time of the year, for example, in the spring, it still needs to be destroyed. A female who arrives without finding a nest will move to another place.
And yet, what wasps are afraid of? Some claim to be liquid smoke. However, experts say that this is not the case. Often, an insect does not react to liquid smoke. Many gardeners prefer to keep the crop by placing each bunch of grapes in a bag specially made from gauze and nylon. However, this method, in addition to being labor-intensive, is also ineffective, since wasps have sharp incisors, so they easily damage the material of the bag, penetrating inside.
It must be emphasized that in the summer season it is more difficult to eliminate the hornet's nest. It is better to do it at night. What smell are wasps afraid of? Naturally, the one that exudes the pesticide, so a dense packet should be carefully placed on the hornet’s nest, inside of which there should be an insecticide. After this, it remains to remove the nest with the destroyed insects and burn it.
What are the wasps still afraid of? There is an opinion that the smell of standard dichlorvos is deadly for them. In addition, insects can be eliminated with kerosene and a solvent.
To the question of what wasps and bees are afraid of, the answer will be quite simple. Of course, chemicals and toxic substances. After the hornet’s nest is treated with poisons, it must be removed and wrapped in a plastic bag, which must be tightly tied. As a result, in such a "gas chamber" insects will quickly die. When handling chemicals, safety precautions should be followed; the procedure is recommended in tight clothing. To destroy wasps, you can use another way: to drown a hornet's nest in water. However, it is far from safe, since there is a possibility of getting insect bites.
