Whether it’s a small garden shed or a large commercial site, we handle all wasp species common in the UK.

​

Understanding Wasp Behaviour

Wasps are highly active, territorial insects that become more aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened. They:

• Feed on sweet foods, fruits, and sugary drinks.

• Hunt insects and spiders to feed their larvae.

• Patrol their nest area and defend it aggressively.

• Communicate threats using pheromones, which can make the whole colony attack.

During mid to late summer, wasps become even more irritated due to changes in their diet as the queen stops laying eggs — making them more likely to sting.

​

When Are Wasps Most Active? – Wasp Season Explained

Wasps start to become noticeable in April, when queens come out of hibernation and begin building new nests. The season typically follows this pattern:

• Spring (April – June): Queens establish nests. Early activity is usually smaller numbers.

• Summer (June – August): Colonies grow rapidly, reaching thousands of wasps. Most nest call-outs happen now.

• Late Summer – Early Autumn (August – October): Wasps become more aggressive and a nuisance at outdoor areas, bins, pubs, gardens, and workplaces.

• Winter (October – March): Nests die off naturally and are not reused the following year.

If you see high activity around your property, the nest is likely mature and should be dealt with by a professional.

​Our Wasp Treatment Process

1. Full inspection of your property and identification of nest location.

2. Safe application of specialist insecticidal treatments to eliminate the colony.

3. Advice on entry points and proofing options to stop future nesting.

4. Removal of the nest if safe to do so (once inactive).

Most nests are resolved within 24–48 hours after treatment.
