How to Keep Your Yard Safe from Wasps and Hornets This Summer
Your yard should be your summer sanctuary—not a stinger zone. Wasps and hornets are highly active during May through August, building nests and foraging for food near your home.
Prevention Tips
- Secure trash bins: Keep lids tight and dispose of food waste often
- Check for early nests: Spring nests are small and easier to remove
- Clean up outdoor eating areas: Don't leave food, crumbs, or sugary drinks unattended
- Seal entry points: Inspect siding, soffits, and outdoor furniture
Landscaping Tips
- Avoid planting fragrant flowers near seating areas
- Trim overgrown trees and shrubs
- Eliminate standing water sources that attract insects
