Following a warm summer which saw a much larger number of callouts for wasps we are heading into the autumn months which sees the end of the wasp season. Wasp and hornet nests have been growing to larger than average size this year given the perfect breeding conditions in June and July. Wasps now become very aggressive at this time of year as they hunt for especially sugary and sweet foods, such as ripe berries and summer fruits.
These images were taken by our techician Chris Budinger. The left picture shows a wasp nest going under ground and the picture on the right shows a hornet's nest in a shed. Both have been treated and eradicated.
