Wasp season is in full swing and in the last week we’ve seen a massive rise in wasp nest removal call outs across Herefordshire.
Top three wasp related questions we are regularly asked
Is a wasp nest dangerous?
The answer is that it most definitely can be! Particularly if you are trying to move, or treat, a wasp nest.
If wasps feel threatened they can become very aggressive and unlike bees, if they sting, they don’t die.
The average wasp nest can hold between 3,000 and 6,000 wasps so disturbing a wasp nest of that size can be extremely serious.
Pest controllers wear protective equipment to reduce the risk of being stung and they’re fully trained to carry out wasp nest treatments so it’s always best to leave it to the professionals!
Will wasps return after a nest is gone?
If a pest controller treats wasps unfortunately it doesn’t mean you won’t have wasps again in future.
However, when a wasps’ nest is treated, if wasps do return once they see their old nest has been destroyed they won’t usually hang around.
Wasps don’t usually build their nests in the same location, in fact it is quite rare which is why many pest controllers don’t physically remove the nests from sites once treated.
What should I do if I have a wasp nest?
If you can leave it alone then it’s best to do so.
Wasps will die off naturally as the colder weather sets in. However, wasps’ nests typically last throughout the Summer months, around 3-4 months and in recent years we’ve seen them last longer because of the warmer climate.
Wasp nests can get very large and hold over 10,000 wasps so if you have a wasp nest near the house or there is someone with a wasp allergy it’s best to get the wasp nest treated by a professional pest controller.
