Now, despite the picturesque landscape image autumn paints, there is a slightly annoying problem that occurs each time the season rolls around. This is when the wasps move swiftly on from ‘the symbol of summer’ and sit under the title of ‘nuisance’!
The female wasps are the most common to be buzzing around this time of year. These female wasps are known as the worker wasps, their job is to serve the queen. Now once the summer is over, the Queen will have left making way for the next generation. They will seek hibernation and mates elsewhere leaving behind massive numbers of infertile female wasps. With no Queen to serve and nothing to really do, they truly become one of the most irritating pests about. These wasps are the rejects per say, the wasps that have not eventually turned into males or become young queens.
There are little or no male wasps left in autumn, this is because they die straight after mating with the Queen. Now if you’re going to get rid of these nuisance pests in autumn, it’s best to contact a pest control london company. Despite the Queen wasps being more vulnerable during hibernation, it still may not be safe tackling a wasp nest by yourself.
Despite the wasps being pests in autumn, they can be a problem at any time of year. If you are to alleviate the problems you have towards the latter end of the year, it’s important to try and get rid of the nests right at the start of summer. This way you get them early and reduce the chances of mating and them building several more nests nearby in autumn.
