- Identify and Remove Nests: Locate and identify any wasp nests in and around your property. Contact a professional if the nests are in hard-to-reach areas or if you’re unsure about handling them yourself.
- Keep Food and Drinks Covered: When outdoors, especially during picnics or gatherings, ensure that food and drinks are covered to prevent wasps from being attracted to them.
