To handle a wasp infestation in Cameron Park, CA, try these methods:

Immediate Actions:

1. Identify the Nest: Look for wasp nests under eaves, in trees, or around decks and sheds. Observe from a safe distance.

2. Use Wasp Spray: Apply a commercial wasp insecticide spray at dusk or dawn when wasps are less active. Spray directly into the nest and keep a safe distance.

3. Remove Food Sources: Wasps are attracted to sweet drinks, fruit, and meat. Keep food covered and clean up spills promptly.

4. Trap Wasps: Use store-bought wasp traps or DIY traps (a soda bottle with sugar water) to lure and capture wasps.

Long-Term Prevention:

1. Seal Entry Points: Check for gaps in walls, vents, and roofing where wasps might build nests. Use caulk or mesh to block openings.

2. Hang Decoy Nests: Wasps are territorial and usually avoid areas where other nests exist. Fake wasp nests can help deter them.

3. Use Natural Deterrents: Spraying peppermint oil, vinegar, or a mix of dish soap and water around known wasp hotspots can discourage them from nesting.
