In terms of pest control, which of the following is a common treatment for wasp issues?

In pest control, a common treatment for wasp issues is the use of a freezing agent. This method involves applying a cold substance to wasp nests, effectively immobilizing the insects. The freezing agent causes a rapid drop in temperature, which can kill adult wasps and immobilize nests, making it safer for the pest control operator to remove the nest without being attacked.

Other treatments exist, but the freezing agent is particularly effective because it minimizes the risk of exposure to stings while handling the nest. Additionally, it can be used in residential areas without the need for chemical pesticides, which makes it appealing for both environmental safety and homeowner preferences.

In contrast, bait traps attract wasps to a bait mix and can be effective but do not eliminate nests directly; insect dust is usually applied to cracks and crevices where insects may enter but is less effective against active nests; and pesticidal foam is often used for direct application to nests but may pose risks associated with chemical exposure.
