With the weather warming up, it’s time to start thinking about wasps and other insects that are coming out of hibernation.

Pest control services can help you get a handle on this potential issue before it starts. South Carolina pest control companies such as Thompson Brothers Exterminating are gearing up for it now, so make your appointment soon.

Wasp Control Products are Flying off the Shelves
The problem with wasps has become a serious concern for pest control companies, as well as everyone else. Right now, those who develop pest control products are in a shipping frenzy to get the products to the stores for consumers to use as quickly as possible. If you make your own attempt at pest control rather than hiring a professional to do it for you, keep a few things in mind as you shop for chemicals that work.

• Look for environmentally friendly products so that you don’t do more damage than good.


• Check the label to learn about the impact the chemical has on the environment and whether it targets wasps or not.


• If you spray budding plants and trees, do so after the blooms have fallen off so you don’t prevent the plant from blooming properly.
