Wasp Nest Removal in March

Signs You May Need Wasp Nest Removal in March

• A steady two-way stream of wasps in and out of one point on the building
• Wasps repeatedly entering a roofline, air brick, soffit joint or wall cavity
• A visible papery grey nest in a shed, garage, loft or bush
• Numbers indoors that build rather than staying steady
• Wasps around a compost heap, a bank or under decking
• Persistent activity around bins, fallen fruit and food outdoors

Why Late Summer Is the Worst of It

For most of the season a worker wasp has a job: find protein, take it back, feed the grubs. In return the grubs produce a sugary secretion the adults feed on. It is a closed arrangement and it keeps them busy and away from you.

Then it ends

Late in the season the colony stops raising young. The adults lose both the task and the food source that came with it, and they go looking for sugar elsewhere — which is your bin, your fallen fruit, your drink and your picnic.

BPCA describe the endpoint: at the end of the year when the colder air arrives, and fruit starts to perish quickly, wasps start to starve or die of the cold.

What actually helps

• Deal with the nest if there is one on the property — everything else is management
• Bin lids closed, and bins away from doors and seating
• Clear fallen fruit from under trees
• Cover food and drink outdoors, and check a can or glass before you drink — a sting inside the mouth is the one worth avoiding
• Do not swat. A threatened wasp calls for help, and that is exactly what you do not want at a table
• Move calmly away rather than flapping

Nest treatment is £90 fixed cost, fully guaranteed, at any point in the season.

Why March Property Owners Call a Professional

Traps, sprays and jam jars deal with the wasps in front of you and not with the colony producing them. In late summer they are also competing with every bin and fallen apple in the neighbourhood.
