WASPS, REPELLENTS AND METHODS FOR ELIMINATION.
To the wasps that live in
colonies they are named social, are formed by males, females and sterile
workers. There exist others that live alone, there are called they the
solitary wasps, between them there are no workers, they construct
individual nests. The social wasps take place of meeting about flowers,
plants, close to water sources (swimming pools, fountains, wells, etc.)
and principally when they find an area of food (barbecues, show
restraint on the outside, etc.). The wasps feels a strong attraction
towards the noise of engines or bombs that generate electricity.
Normally they are located in cracks of walls, pierced trees or the false
ceilings of the house.
Wasp tend to make their hive in hollow
trees or in the roofs of the houses.
It is necessary to bear in mind that the wasps
unlike the bees, they do not die on having stung for what we can get
several followed stings. These insects, due to the poison that they
inject on having stung they produce papules of approximately 10 mm. Of
diameter, pain quemante and burning. Also an effect is produced bounce,
the infection of these pápulas due to the sting that remains fixed.
Special care they have to show the allergic ones to the stings wasps,
for the possible health problems that they carry, has arrived
producirles to death. The most serious effects are when the stings take
place in neck, head and face. The gravity of the picture depends on the
number of stings, age and exhibition previous to they.
The use of outside traps wasps is a very
effective method to kill this insects, consists of a container which
introduces a powerful attractant that produces a liquid bait for these
insects, contains a hole where the wasps were introduce, looking for the
bait fall into the liquid and drown. The place near us to reduce the
risk of bites or in places where they are assiduously.
The traps of outside are an attractive
fort for the wasps, where they die drowned.
We may use repellents for wasps, chemical composition
or natural, is a way to keep them away but not to kill them. These
active substances found in repellents, are unpleasant for the wasps
which are a far cry to a minimum contact. Can be found in creams and
lotions and skin for use in liquid or spray placing in the places of
passage or where discomfort of these insects. There are some specific
products that are sprayed on barbecues, edges of ponds or plants, but it
must be emphasized that tend to be active chemical, or permetrinas
pyrethrins, which may pose a danger to people smaller.
