If you’ve noticed more wasps around your home or garden recently, you’re not alone. Wasps become particularly noticeable towards the end of summer as their colonies reach peak activity and workers begin searching for sugary food and drinks.While seeing the odd wasp is normal, a sudden increase so many wasps could mean there is a nest nearby. We are going to help you get rid of them!
Signs You May Have a Wasp Nest
Think you may have a wasp nest? Look out for:
- Large numbers of wasps around your property
- Wasps repeatedly entering or leaving the same area
- Increased activity around lofts, roof spaces or sheds
- A visible nest around your property
- Wasps appearing indoors through the same window or opening
How to Prevent Wasps
There are a few simple ways to reduce wasp activity around your home or business:
- Keep bins securely closed
- Clear away food and drink after eating outdoors
- Keep sugary drinks and food covered
- Keep overripe fruit off the ground
- Check sheds, lofts and roof spaces for signs of nesting
If you suspect there is an active nest, avoid disturbing it. Wasp nests can become defensive when threatened, particularly when there are large numbers of wasps present.
