How to Get Rid of Wasps Around Your Pool
Posted by Mosquito SquadJune 5, 2024
The buzzing and darting start as soon as you begin using your pool each year. Wasps around pools are not uncommon.
How many times have you been floating around or sitting beside your pool and found yourself swatting and flailing trying to rid yourself of a wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket pool-goer? The fear of being stung by one of these pests is nearly as bad as being stung, and they can certainly ruin an otherwise perfect pool day.
What attracts wasps to your pool in the first place?
Unlike other pests, which are not necessarily brought to your pool by the water itself, wasps are attracted to open water. Large bodies of water are enticing for wasps, which will come to your pool to drink. Other attractants for wasps in pool areas might be food and snacks, as well as some flowering landscaping plants. Yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets can be attracted to your water, due to the smell emitted by your saltwater system or chlorine used to treat the water.
An additional note about wasps and pools is that they often make their nests close to your pool. If you have an above ground pool, they might nest beneath the rail that encompasses the perimeter of the pool.
