A warm start to your day but
not as warm as we’ve been
experiencing. Caroline will
have your forecast coming up.
>> He’s back and so are the
WASP.
>> Yeah. Many Houston families
are dealing with them. They can
be dangerous. They can be
annoying.
>> Our Cathy Hernandez is live
from Lake Conroe explaining
what you can do.
>> To help keep them away.
Kathy?
>> Well, good morning to you.
The Martin family we spoke with
said they have a major problem
that wast are so bad and they
just keep coming back. They say
at times even tried to avoid
the outdoors entirely because
they know it’s going to be a
battle.
>> When I put it back here in
everybody’s us.
>> Nobody. But these the
struggle is real. It’s they’ve
been here ever since. And it’s
just something you can’t
absolutely get rid of.
>> It seems wasp invade every
corner outside of the Martin
homes. They’re under are
covered patio right here.
>> And there’s certain corners
of speakers out there that hang
off the speakers my tables have
a wicker furniture. So people
come over going to flip those
over and make sure clean them
out. Jennifer Gerald and their
2 children have lived in this
neighborhood on Lake Houston
for 8 years. We can get rid
of all not come down and just
watch him rebuild. So.
>> Ongoing process.
>> An ongoing process. That’s
an
ongoing Newson.
>> Satcher pointing out tires,
but it’s possible. I don’t want
to go out there on the grill
because I’m not in the mood to
go out there and try to knock
them down there. Fighting for
30 minutes right now.
>> Even worse, Gerald, he’s
become a
victim himself.
>> Putting one of the our
nephew and his car seat,
putting the track. And also
to my eyes.
>> The Martin family is not
alone.
>> I think this is just around
the time of the shooting
starts. Winning is calling me
with eggs and all and the
workers are about the 2 as
well.
>> Jesse Querer with John Moore
Services knows it all too.
Well, what you see in St says
the best thing to do is call
the professionals.
>> First thing to do is call
your pest control company so we
can come out there in that
situation.
>> You can also try your own
remedy, but it is risky if
you’re up for it. Wait until
the evening. When the wast,
their less active wear
protective clothing and use
a broomstick to knock down the
next be prepared. In case a
wasp flies out.
>> So basically always want to
just get away from them.
Go in a straight line, least
50 feet up. So a lot of
homeowners. What they can do
is you something that organic
like peppermint oil spearman
onto cinnamon vinegar Cintron
alone. You can get some
peppermint on. Put it in a
bottle. Little bit of water
and just spread around the
entry points. Your window
seals.
>> All around the perimeter.
He says for some families,
though, it may be a constant
pain.
>> It’s going to be a nuisance.
They’re there expected if you
don’t have it great. But if
you do just, you know, do some
type of prevention.
>> As for the Martin family,
they’re still working on it.
>> You’ve got to be diligent
and take care of and key point
that you can get. I have not
been able to keep them away.
>> It’s tough, of course, for
many families, including my
family as well can get
dangerous at times. You can
also find.
>> Pretty effective
insecticides. We found one at
our house. You can spray it.
Make sure you sprayed at night
when they’re less active.
Wait a day or so to knock down
the nets. But of course, the
best and safest way to do it.
Just call a professional guys.
Back to you.
>> Yeah. Like that long, 20
foot spray to. That’s a good
one. I strong spray from a
boss. The yard. Yeah. Haha.
It’s okay to tell me they just
want a little.
>> Well earlier, I just I mean,
yeah, sure territorial and we
don’t have that many that I can
see. Yeah.
>> they’re pretty friend
friendly. I mean, we kind of
stay out of their way to come
through and we don’t have any
nest so co exist for their
hiding somewhere in the wall
who hiding in the wall. There
are right for now. You know,
too.
>> Yeah. I mean, it is going to
give me a little different
perspective next time I see
when I’m going to feel pretty
