As summer approaches, so does the presence of wasps. These stinging insects can quickly turn a peaceful garden barbecue into a scene of chaos and discomfort. With their distinctive black and yellow stripes, wasps are not only intimidating but can also pose a threat to those allergic to their venom.
Shield Pest Control understands the importance of safeguarding your home against these pests and in this blog post our experts will share some of their top tips to keep your summer buzz-free.
Understanding the Lifecycle of Wasps:
Wasps typically start appearing in late spring or early summer, as this is when the queen emerges from hibernation to build her nest and start a new colony.
The queen lays eggs that hatch into larvae, which eventually develop into adult worker wasps. These workers then take over the responsibilities of expanding the nest, foraging for food, and caring for the larvae. By late summer, the colony reaches its peak population, and worker wasps become more aggressive as they seek out food sources to sustain the colony through the winter. During this time, wasps can become a nuisance, especially around outdoor food and bins. Additionally, as the weather cools in autumn, the colony’s dynamics change, and worker wasps become more desperate for food, making them more likely to venture into homes in search of sustenance. Understanding the lifecycle of wasps is essential for implementing effective prevention strategies.
