    WASPS

    Most wasps have two pairs of wings and have a pinched waist. The colours will range from black to metallic greens and blues and will vary in size.


    The most commonly known wasps, such as yellow jackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. The majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Many of the solitary wasps are parasitoidal, meaning that they raise their young by laying eggs on or in other insects (any life stage from egg to adult). Unlike true parasites, the wasp larvae eventually kill their hosts. Solitary wasps parasitize almost every pest insect, making wasps valuable in horticulture for biological pest control of species such as whitefly in tomatoes and other crops.


    Wasps play many ecological roles. Some are predators, whether to feed themselves or to provision their nests. Many, notably the cuckoo wasps, are kleptoparasites, laying eggs in the nests of other wasps.

    FLEAS

    When it comes to protecting your family, home, and pets from fleas, it's important to find a knowledgeable exterminator you can trust. Because female fleas lay approximately four to eight eggs after each meal, flea populations can quickly reproduce, leading to extreme discomfort for pets such as dogs and cats. If left unchecked, flea infestations can spread from pets to your home environment.


    Once a flea infestation takes hold of a home environment, professional treatment may be required to completely eradicate the problem. Calling The Green Advantage can help you take control of your home's flea problem more quickly than attempting to get rid of fleas on your own. Professional flea control service can also help to prevent future infestations from occurring.
