π₯΅βοΈ Wondering why wasps are everywhere right now?
It's not just you. This warm weather is peak season for them.
Here's what's happening:
1. They're in overdrive
Warm weather = more energy. Wasps are foraging non-stop to feed their growing colonies. A nest that had 50 wasps in June can have 5,000+ by August.
2. They get more aggressive
Later in summer, the queen stops laying and the workers have less to do. They switch from hunting insects to hunting your sugars - your c***r, ice cream, BBQ, bins. That's why they seem to bother YOU more now.
3. That nest is getting big
If you've heard buzzing in your loft, wall cavity, shed or eaves - it will only get larger and louder in this heat. Warm weather makes them expand fast.
Our advice from West Yorkshire Pest Control:
β Don't block the nest entrance - they'll find another way out, often INSIDE your home
β Don't try DIY foam / water in this heat - it angers the whole colony
β
Keep bins sealed, cover food & drinks outside
β
If the nest is near a door, window, or where kids/pets are, get it professionally treated.
We remove wasp nests safely and fast! 100% guaranteed treatments!
