Summer is here, and with it, insects. Mosquitoes, flies, and wasps. The latter can be especially annoying, as if they sting, they can cause significant damage. It’s important not to confuse wasps with bees, as bees are protected and are an essential species for the proper functioning of the ecosystem. Now, an insecticide is coming that’s revolutionizing social media and Amazon sales. It seems that for less than 9 euros, there’s already a solution to get rid of wasps.
It’s ideal for reaching those hard-to-reach places like roofs
This aerosol is designed to provide almost immediate action and can be used to eliminate Asian hornet nests and other types of hornets. Thanks to its dispenser, it’s ideal for reaching those hard-to-reach places like roofs, wall corners, and nooks and crannies.
The spray is approved for domestic use. The insecticide comes in a 600 ml container, which, given its design, is equivalent to buying three conventional 1-liter products. It’s important to remember, however, that to maximize its potency, it’s best to spray it at dawn or dusk.
It’s recommended to shake the bottle first and spraying the product directly
To use the product correctly, the brand recommends shaking the bottle first, spraying the product directly (for 5 to 10 seconds) on the nests and wasp nests, always keeping a safe distance, and then waiting for it to take effect (read the label on the back of the container).
What sets this product apart from others is its pyrethroid-based formula. These are synthetic compounds similar to those found in some flowers, capable of causing almost immediate paralysis in insects upon contact. Once applied, it is recommended not to approach the treated area for at least a few hours. Its immediate effect is achieved thanks to its contact-based formula, which helps eliminate insects quickly and effectively.
The best thing to do would be to seal all cracks or holes
In any case, although nature is free and perfect, we can try to avoid attracting wasps so we don’t have to resort to this type of “solution.” The best thing to do would be to seal all cracks or holes, in addition to maintaining constant cleaning and using natural repellents.
The insecticide is specifically formulated for wasps and should not be used near beehives or flowers visited by bees. This is very important to remember since, as mentioned before, bees should not be killed.
Bee populations have declined worldwide
Bees provide high-quality foods such as honey, royal jelly, and pollen, as well as other products such as beeswax and propolis. Bee populations have declined worldwide, as noted by the UN’s environment-focused website, in recent decades due to habitat loss, intensive agricultural practices, changing weather patterns, and the overuse of agrochemicals such as pesticides. This, in turn, poses a threat to a variety of plants that are essential to human well-being and livelihoods.
