Paper Wasp - Bee Removal and Control - Seattle, WA - Croach

  1. When you know wasps are around, wear light, muted shades of clothing. Bright colors resemble wasp food. Dark colors resemble wasp predators and may inspire them to attack.
  2. Wear tight-fitting clothing when treading through wasp territory. This prevents wasps from flying up your sleeves.
  3. Reduce strong smells such as perfume, strong soaps, or fragrant shampoos. It's especially important to eliminate fruity shampoos. Again, you don't want to smell like wasp food!
  4. Never swat at a wasp. This will anger them and make them even more likely to sting.

When confronted with a wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, it's best to move slowly out of the area. If you spot a wasp nest, call Croach® so we can remove it for you safely.
