Season’s
Pests
As the weather warms and we head further into autumn, wasp activity naturally starts to decline — but this is also when nests are at their largest and most aggressive. Worker wasps become more defensive as food sources diminish, often seeking out sweet drinks and discarded food around gardens, bins, and outdoor seating areas. While the colder months will eventually see the colony die off, new queen wasps are now preparing to hibernate, ready to emerge and rebuild when spring returns.
To avoid unwanted encounters, it’s important to stay vigilant. Check loft spaces, sheds, and roof eaves for old or active nests, and keep bins tightly sealed to reduce attraction. Avoid leaving fallen fruit or sugary food outdoors, and take care when trimming hedges or cleaning outdoor areas where wasps may still be active. If you spot an active nest near your property, avoid disturbing it and contact a professional pest controller. Taking these precautions through autumn helps ensure wasps don’t linger into winter or return stronger the following year.
