Have you noticed wasps flying back to exactly the same place on your house, shed or garage?

It’s rarely a coincidence.

Repeated wasp activity usually means there’s an active nest nearby, even if you can’t see it. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid disturbing the nest and decide when it’s time to arrange professional treatment.

How long does a wasp nest stay active?

If you’ve noticed wasps flying to and from the same spot around your home, you might be wondering whether the nest will eventually disappear on its own.

The answer depends on the time of year. Wasp nests only last for one season, but during July and August they can contain thousands of wasps and become much more active.

In our latest article, we explain:

✔ When a wasp nest reaches its busiest point
✔ What happens to the colony in autumn
✔ Whether wasps ever reuse an old nest
✔ When it’s best to seek professional treatment

What happens after a wasp nest has been treated?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often.

Many people expect all wasp activity to stop immediately, but that’s not always the case. You may still see a few wasps returning to the nest for a short time, and it’s important not to block the entrance too soon.

In our latest article, we explain:

✔ How long wasps usually remain active after treatment
✔ Whether the nest needs to be removed
✔ When it’s safe to repair entry points
✔ Signs that may mean the nest needs checking again

🐝 Have you noticed wasps flying to the same spot on your house?

It could be a sign that they’ve already built a nest.

Wasps often choose hidden locations such as roof spaces, wall cavities, soffits, sheds and garages, making nests difficult to spot until activity increases. Knowing where they like to nest can help you identify a problem before it becomes a bigger issue.

Our latest blog explains the most common places wasps build nests around homes, the warning signs to look out for and why it’s important not to block their entrance.

Do wasps become more aggressive before rain?

If you’ve ever noticed more wasps around your garden just before a summer shower, you’re not alone.

Warm, humid weather and growing colonies during July can make wasps much more noticeable around food, drinks and outdoor seating. While rain itself doesn’t make them aggressive, changing weather can affect their behaviour.

Our latest article explains why this happens, what to look out for and when increased wasp activity could mean there’s a nest nearby.

🐝 Why are there so many wasps around in July?

If you’ve noticed more wasps around your home, garden or roof recently, there’s a good reason for it.

July is when wasp colonies grow quickly, meaning hundreds of worker wasps are out searching for food. If you keep seeing them flying to the same spot on your property, there could be a nest nearby.

Our latest blog explains why wasp activity increases at this time of year, where nests are commonly found and the signs to look out for.

Have you noticed wasps repeatedly flying into the same gap beneath your roof tiles, soffit or guttering?

That regular flight path often points to an active nest inside the roof structure. Avoid blocking the hole, as this can force the wasps to find another route.

Seeing wasps using the same gap under roof tiles, around a shed, near a garage or along a garden building?

That repeated flight path is often the sign of a nest nearby.

The odd wasp in the garden is normal in summer. Several wasps going in and out of the same place throughout the day is different.

Please do not block the hole or start spraying around the entrance. That can make the wasps defensive and may push them further into the property.
