Three helpful tips against wasps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sit down with a cool drink or ice cream in the park or on the balcony for breakfast in the summer, it often doesn&#8217;t take long for the first wasps to join you. This can be quite unpleasant, because quite often the animals are quite intrusive. To prevent this from happening, you can use these three simple tricks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distraction food<\/strong>: before eating, place some distraction food a little away from where you are sitting, so that the wasps can eat undisturbed. This way you will also remain undisturbed.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spray water<\/strong>: spray the wasps with a little water. The moisture will give the wasps the impression that it will soon rain and they will retreat.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cover<\/strong>: make sure your food and drinks are always covered. This will prevent them from getting to your food in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wespen-Tricks-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wespen-Tricks-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wespen-Tricks-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wespen-Tricks-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wespen-Tricks.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group advgb-dyn-6bbbaf52\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-15cf35fc\" id=\"intrusive\">2. Only 2 out of 100 wasp species are intrusive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting fact we learned while researching this topic is that wasps come in an incredible number of forms and species. The wrinkled wasps alone include about 100 species in Europe. Only two of them &#8211; namely the <strong>Common Wasp<\/strong> and the <strong>German Wasp<\/strong> &#8211; are the ones we get annoyed with in the summer, when they prey mainly on our sugary foods. Normally, we don&#8217;t notice the other wasp species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about the different species, we recommend the articles by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deutschland-summt.de\/wespen-und-hornissen.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deutschland Summt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantopedia.de\/wespenarten-in-deutschland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plantopedia<\/a>. In them you will discover, among other things, such exciting creatures as the cuckoo wasp, which &#8211; as its name suggests &#8211; lays its eggs in foreign wasp states. There are even species that infiltrate and take over entire wasp states, which we personally also find a bit creepy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized advgb-dyn-f21ca325\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aktion-wespenschutz.de\/Schutz\/Bilder\/Aufklaerung\/Wespenarten.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Overview of some social wrinkled wasps in Germany (Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aktion-wespenschutz.de\/Wespenarten\/Wespenarten.HTM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aktion Wespenschutz<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-1c34276d\" id=\"important\">3. Wasps fulfill important ecological functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In nature, wasps perform several important tasks. On the one hand, they serve as natural pest controllers because they hunt insects to feed their offspring. A hornet colony (yes, hornets also belong to the wasp family) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bund.net\/bund-tipps\/detail-tipps\/tip\/unser-tipp-im-mai-die-hornisse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">destroys up to 500 grams of pests a day<\/a>. At the same time, many species are involved in the decomposition of dead animals. Thus they are contributing an important part to the natural cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second important point is that they also play a part in pollinating plants. In addition, they themselves are also an important part of the food chain for other animals, such as some native bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-33b143d7\" id=\"discover\">4. There are many more insects to discover (and protect)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of wasps alone is incredibly large and exciting. If you want to take a look beyond that, you can discover a whole universe of insects in very different habitats and with different functions for our ecosystem. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabu.de\/tiere-und-pflanzen\/aktionen-und-projekte\/insektensommer\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NABU Insect Summer campaign<\/a> gives you a great insight into this. Here you will find an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabu.de\/tiere-und-pflanzen\/aktionen-und-projekte\/insektensommer\/mitmachen\/30048.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">app for insect identification<\/a> with over 450 insect portraits as well as the opportunity to participate in the annual counting campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By counting the insects, you help to keep an eye on the population of the different species. Many (native) insects are also becoming increasingly endangered. If you would like to take action, WWF has put together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwf.de\/aktiv-werden\/tipps-fuer-den-alltag\/tipps-fuer-den-garten\/13-tipps-fuer-mehr-artenvielfalt-auf-dem-balkon-und-im-garten\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">13 valuable tips for you on how to create more biodiversity<\/a> on your balcony and in your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full advgb-dyn-c6c3bfc8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/210527_insekten_lupe_michael_sieber_680x453-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/210527_insekten_lupe_michael_sieber_680x453-edited.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/210527_insekten_lupe_michael_sieber_680x453-edited-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabu.de\/tiere-und-pflanzen\/aktionen-und-projekte\/insektensommer\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NABU Insektensommer<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color advgb-dyn-0af49fe5\" id=\"involved\">5.
