The number of wasps and hornets is really down from what we normally see this time of summer. At this point in late June, wasps are typically a common sight and nuisance. This year, however, the wasp and hornet population is hardly noticeable. The cool wet spring weather has not been favorable to their survival, as the emerging hibernating queens need to forage for food and build nests causing a high mortality rate. Wasps are a key predator protecting plants life and crops from millipedes, flies, caterpillars, aphids, and much more.

Eliminating insects takes a lot of time and effort for it to be successfully done. After every application of pesticides, you always want to clean your home, but you should be patient before cleaning. Sometimes you have to wait a week or 3 weeks before you can clean your home so that pesticides will work on the target pests. Some pests take time before they come out of their hiding places when sprayed. Keep the house dry as possible. For cleaning use rubber gloves, face masks, water, dishwashing soap, vacuum cleaner, trash bags, sponges or rags and a steam cleaner. So you will need to find a starting point, clean the floors, wipe walls and windows, steam and vacuum furniture.

These beetles are hard to control because you’ll find the damage from the infestation when its done. They destroy furniture, buildings, and homes. Unless you know the signs, they’ll slowly eat away at wood for months and even years. The two signs of a wood-boring beetle infestation are wood powder, holes, tunnels and stained or blistered wood. Some wood-boring beetles will create an audible clicking sound as they chew through wood. These insects prefer moisture in the wood they attack, so buy kiln-dried wood.
