Camps

Camps are the most common yet most challenging place to take care of a wasp issue. If your business operates a campground, chances are you are welcoming of nature, however, the campers, whether they be kids or adults, may not be as welcoming of such ideas. Some visitors may even be allergic to wasps stings. Therefore, to preserve your residents’ safety, taking preventative measures to ensure that wasps remain a safe distance away from the camp is essential!

While you cannot stop wasps from forming a nest on their home turf, you can make the campground less appealing to them.

Remember to always clean and properly dispose of foods and drinks.
Ensure that areas that host the most people are maintained and landscaped regularly.

Restaurants

One of the most common places to attract wasps is restaurants, especially ones with outdoor seating. Due to the abundance of food and sugary drinks located at a restaurant, wasps will readily attempt to invade such an area, making it difficult for your servers and customers!

To make your restaurant less appealing to these winged beasts take these steps:

Make sure that trash cans are always covered and are as far away from outdoor seating as possible.
Furthermore, make sure trashcans located outside are regularly emptied and cleaned.
Make sure tables are regularly cleaned and maintained outdoors
Consider using traps to lead wasps away.

Apartment Complexes

If you own an apartment complex, wasps can spell disaster. They can cause potential clients to turn away from an otherwise closed deal.

To make sure that wasps are not an issue, consider the following:

Regular maintenance of the building is a must. Any cracks or holes within the side of the building are common nesting points for wasps and other pests.
Regular landscaping is essential to avoid nests from forming within the ground.
Ensure any trashcans located outside are maintained and cleaned daily
