How Long Does A Wasp Nest Last?

Wasp nests typically last for 3-4 months, depending on how long the wasp season lasts that year. Wasps prefer warm weather, so the season usually lasts between early spring and late summer. Wasps never use the same nest each year, so during the winter, the queen wasp will hibernate, and then she will build a new nest in the spring. Old wasp nests can become a habitat for other insects, such as ants or flies. So, even if you find an empty wasp nest on your property, you need to get rid of it fast.


Are UK Wasps Aggressive?

The wasps found in the UK aren’t generally aggressive and won’t attack humans unprovoked, but they can become defensive if they feel threatened. So, if you go near their nest without wearing protective clothing, then you might get stung. Wasp stings can be incredibly painful and cause an allergic reaction in some people, so it’s important that you get professional wasp nest removal as soon as you find signs of an infestation.


Can You Remove A Wasp Nest Yourself?

While it is perfectly legal to remove a wasp nest yourself, it isn’t advisable, as wasps can sting when they feel threatened, which can be painful. Also, wasps like to build their nests in tight spaces, such as wall cavities, chimneys, sheds and other outbuildings. Without the right tools and skills to carry out wasp nest treatment, you might cause property damage or you might not remove all the wasps. For fast, effective removal of wasps and their nests, you need professional wasp nest removal from LPPC Environmental.


Is It Possible To Prevent Wasps From Building Nests On Your Property?

While it is difficult to prevent wasps from getting inside your home or garden, there are ways you can reduce the chances of them building a nest. A simple approach is to block obvious entry points, such as by filling in large cracks in your walls and using fly screens when you want to keep windows or doors open. Also, you can cut off potential food sources by keeping food covered and storing it in sealed containers. For further expert advice or to treat an existing wasp nest, contact LPPC Environmental.
