Identification

First of all, kindly make certain that you genuinely do have a wasps’ nest, you’d be astounded at how frequently we are called out to what’s meant to be a wasps’ nest and it proves to be to be bees, particularly solitary bees in the spring. When you have a wasps’ nest you will notice loads of wasps entering and leaving from one opening, if they’re solitary bees they will be entering a lot of holes everywhere in the brickwork, especially airbricks and drainage holes in pvc window frames. These solitary bees are benign and they cannot sting and no treatments are possible or required. As a rough yardstick you can’t have an active wasps’ nest until at the very least the middle of May as a consequence of the biology of the wasp. Any viewed before mid-May will be bees with no shadow of a doubt. Very few insects stimulate worry as the wasp with a lot of people responding very badly to their stings. Unfortunately every single year in the United Kingdom people do die because of being stung by wasps, often after inadvertently disturbing the nest.

Nest Progress throughout the summer

A wasps’ nest will start at the end of spring commonly around April when the queens wake up and commence nest constructing. In contrast to honey bees, only queens survive the winter months, the remainder of the colony having died off the previous winter. The queen develops a very small nest from ‘wasp paper’, which she produces by combining rotting wood with saliva. This basic nest is roughly the dimension of a golf ball, within it she lays approximately 20 eggs which hatch out into larvae. These she nourishes with various grubs until they pupate and hatch out into fully fledged wasps. These juvenile wasps will then assume control of nest making while the queen will stay within the nest laying eggs. This complete process requires a number of weeks and it really is unusual indeed to see a wasps’ nest prior to June. The busiest phase of nest development is commonly the month of June and Manchester wasps’ nest control always calculate that the wasps’ nest season generally starts around the 3rd week in June. If left untreated the nest proceeds to develop over the the summer months and dependent on weather and availability to food will hold between five thousand – 30,000 wasps at its peak. When the worker wasps feed the larvae within the nest they are rewarded by the larvae which exude a sweet sticky material which the wasps desire and therefore this is their motive to sustain their young. Up to around August time the nest makes only sterile females but as the days begin to shorten it will make its last set of larvae which are new queens and males. Generally a nest will generate about two thousand new queens. Naturally these new queens will mate and after that hibernate for the cold months of winter. It’s at this period when wasps tend to be their most problematical. When the nest is no longer generating young, the worker wasps are missing out on their sweet fix and set out needing sweet foods. They start feeding on rotting fruit and as they are essentially unemployed they transform into a nuisance pest. It is now when nearly all stings occur. It’s also the time when destroying a wasps’ nest becomes significantly more difficult since when the queens come out they will cease to return to the nest and so are not eliminated by any pesticide inside of it. At this stage of the year we have many reports of customers getting a significant quantity of wasps within their homes every day, these are the new queens searching for hibernating sites. Many Local Councils at this time of the season will tell enquirers to leave the nest without treatment as ‘it should disappear soon’. This is often in fact the worst possible thing you can do considering the fact that the queens will appear making the whole job more tricky. Once this process has begun, commonly from mid-September, it is normally essential to carry out extra work, for instance smoking or fogging the attic space to kill these queens which of course carries additional expenses. The best suggestion Manchester wasps’ nest control can give is when you’ve got a wasps’ nest get it eradicated in advance of September and this will save you lots of hassle. Left untreated a wasps nest can continue up until the first main freeze of wintertime, they survive later in to the the autumn months than some people expect. Manchester wasps’ nest control regularly tackle a number of wasps’ nests even into early winter and the latest we’ve destroyed an active nest was Xmas eve! When the wintertime comes the queens hibernate and all the other wasps, workers and males, die off. The nest itself is then exhausted, it will never be made use of again and consequently there is not any advantage at all in making an attempt to remove it.

More about wasps

A wasps’ stinger is a altered ovipositor and consequently only female wasps can sting but not many would like to take a risk on guessing the right sex of the wasp they are seeing. In The Uk we now have three variations of pest wasps, Vespula vulgaris or the common wasp, the German wasp, Vespula germanica and a recent incomer from the continent which arrived here here in the 80s Dolichovespula media. There are more kinds of wasps in the UK however they do not bother us as unwanted pests. We have the European hornet, Vespa crabro in the British Isles, largely confined to the southern counties but Manchester wasps’ nest control did deal with a hornets’ nest within the Knutsford area in the summer of 2012, however it was the first we’d ever come across this far north. There is no necessity for Manchester wasps’ nest control to recognize the type of wasp we’re dealing with to be able to destroy the wasps’ nest. All of the pest species have a very similar biology and react to absolutely the exact same treatment. What controls the amount and size of wasps’ nests is actually not the severity of the past winter but the weather conditions in the spring. The hibernating queens can survive any amount of cold however the worst of all predicament for them is precisely what took place in 2012. There was a very early warm interval for around 6 weeks from mid-February and all throughout March. This brought the wasp queens from hibernation ahead of time but regrettably for them it turned really cold and then there wasn’t any food for them so they starved. As a consequence the summer of 2012 became a bad summer for wasps.
