Wasp Integrated Pest Management for Schools and Child Care Centers
Managing wasps in the spring can help keep populations in check and prevent the need for pesticides in the future. In the spring, queens leave nests to establish new populations. Trap them now to prevent bigger problems in the summer. Using integrated pest management (IPM) is a safer, more sustainable approach to managing pests at schools and child care centers.
