The Starting of Winter Doesn’t Mean the End of Wasps

by Emily Ela SEO Analyst

At Lakewood pest control Services, we ordinarily end up managing with rat and rodent control in the winter, as a greater amount of our six-legged companions spring up in the mid year. From April onwards, call outs for wasp control spike.

This is normal at the stature of summer, when scarcely a back garden or picnic spot in the country goes unbothered by the famously aggressive wasps. What few people realise, however, is that when the summer winds down and the cooler autumn begins, the wasp population really spikes, with a couple of additional problems going along with this.

As usual, Pest Control Services is close by to manage any wasp issue, huge or little, crosswise over Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire or Oxford-shire. However anyway huge the home (an ongoing story revealed a space wasps' home eight feet around!) we can terminate this problem securely and proficiently.

Wasps in Late of Summer and Autumn

Wasps generally start building their nests in late of May or In June, and this continues until July. This might suggest a typical ‘summer’ problem, but the queen can continue laying eggs until the early autumn, meaning wasps can be hatching well into September or October.

In the pre-winter, the kind of picnics, barbecues and al fresco dining which attracts the pests certainly occur less often, contributing to these generally larger numbers going unnoticed. But there are without a doubt more wasps and, to make matters worse, they act like more of a pest at this time of year.

This is because it is in the late summer and early autumn that wasps are searching for the food to last the colder months ahead; as that food becomes scarcer, their search intensifies.

It is not uncommon for us at Lakewood exterminating office to receive calls at this time of year for wasp nests, usually discovered in lofts, eves, or other sheltered locations. As always, however, the problem can be dealt with.

It may be really difficult to ensure that all of the wasps are eliminated before an attempt is made to remove the nest itself.

Calling our Lakewood team guarantees an effective removal, usually on the same day, and we will be able to share a full assessment of the situation as well as tips for your future prevention.
