Nothing can spoil the most wonderful holiday home, as an aspen family settled on the plot. With his appearance, it will not be possible without any fear to eat a juicy pear or strawberry, calmly cook jam or drink tea with honey . And if among the inhabitants of the dacha there are people with allergies or small children, then a small aspen house turns into an urgent problem requiring a big solution. We will talk about how to safely get rid of the aspen nest in the country house today.
How to get rid of aspen nests - safety precautions
To begin with, let us say a few words about the precautionary measures, without which the attempt to get rid of striped neighbors can turn into a real tragedy. First, care should be taken to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable members of the family. Elderly, young children, as well as pets, it is better to wait for the operation to remove the nest somewhere away from the site of operations. Secondly, a fighter with wasps must first make sure that the bite of these insects does not cause him an allergic reaction. But even in the absence of it, there must be ampules of adrenaline and prednisolone, as well as a strong antihistamine, in the first-aid kit, and someone who can quickly provide first aid without panic. Thirdly, the body, head and hands must be reliably protected: wear tight clothing, thick rubber or leather gloves, and the face with a mosquito net or mask. Fourthly, all actions to remove the aspen nests should be done at night, when all the wasps are at home and sleep.
How to get rid of the aspen nests - the choice of weapons
We will make a reservation right away that the choice of how to get rid of the aspen nest is almost independent of where this nest is located - in the ground, on a tree or under the roof of a house. In any case, the most reliable, effective and safe means of struggle will be the use of chemical weapons, i.e. drugs that destroy the wasps physically. Excellent results show insecticide dust "Sevin 5 Garden Dust", which must be sprayed at the entrance to the nest. The rest of the work will be done by the wasps themselves, putting the preparation on the paws inside its dwelling, as a result of which the nest will be emptied in a rather short time. Other aerosols ("Dichlophos", "Raptor", "Raid") will also do a good job, but the spraying process itself can be very angry, so all precautions should be taken when using them. If the chemical preparations are for some reason inaccessible, and the wasps literally do not allow them to live peacefully, then one can risk and apply one of the physical methods. For example, put a strong polyethylene bag on the nest, roll up the inlet with an adhesive tape and quickly detach the nest from the attachment point. Then place the bag in a closed metal container (for example, an empty barrel) and burn it. If the wasps have built their dwelling in an inaccessible place (for example, in the skin of a house), then it will be possible to get rid of this neighborhood only by a combination of several methods. For example, you can first process the entrance to the nest with one of the chemicals, and then seal it with building materials.
How to get rid of aspen nests and what not to do?
When entering the road with the wasp, do not try to untangle their nest, suck the insects with a vacuum cleaner, fill the nest with gasoline (or any other combustible liquid), boil or burn the nest without removing it. First, any of these actions will be perceived as aggression and retaliatory actions will not keep you waiting. Secondly, for the arrangement of the wasp nests, dry and well ventilated places are chosen, so the attempt to burn their house may well result in a huge ashes.
