Wasps' Nest Cheshire 2007

The 2009 wasp season is almost upon us once more, what would summer be without our friends the wasps to pester us as we enjoy our summer evening barbeques?

The wasp has a biology that means they are rarely seen before July as until then only the queen wasp is in the nest.

In early spring the over-wintered queens leave their hibernating sites to find nesting sites which could be in a hole in the ground, a bush or artificial structures such as chimneys eaves, lofts and attics, garden sheds etc.

The queen starts to construct her nest with a papery material that she makes by chewing small slivers of wood mixed with saliva; this is known as Wasp paper.

She will raise the first few workers by her own efforts and those workers will then carry on the enlargement of the nest and feeding the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest building gets into full swing in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be present. These workers will gather food up to 400 metres from the nest. The size of wasp colonies will vary from year to year, the severity of the previous winter is probably the main factor.

In the Autumn the young queens mate and leave the nest to find hibernation sites, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never used again.

Many individuals react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, others suffer considerable pain and discomfort and a few become seriously allergic to being stung, which in severe cases results in sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.
Control
It is always advisable to let a professional Pest Control Officer destroy a Wasps’ nest for the reasons given above. An insecticide will be used to cover the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the middle of the nest and within an hour all wasps should be dead.

It is foolish to allow a wasps’ nest to remain untreated as the new queens produced by the nest will invariably nest nearby in the following spring resulting in many more nests the following year. For this reason several nests are often found clustered together in a neighbourhood a locality.
