Did You Know That Wasps Do Not Die in the Winter?

Despite their name, wasps do not die in the winter. The main goal of any wasp colony is to keep the queen alive. If a queen dies, it can have a disastrous effect on the nest. This is why a wasp colony is synchronized, so that the queen and the rest of the colony can mate.

The best way to keep a wasp colony alive is to provide it with a food source. If the food source is plentiful, a large nest can survive for a while. During the winter months, a wasp’s food source diminishes. In the absence of food, the workers die off.

The simplest way to ensure that your wasps do not die in the winter is to catch them and relocate them to another location. You can do this by setting up a wasp trap and keeping the trap in place until the spring. You can also enlist the help of a professional pest control service to get rid of them.

The NPMA recently released a bi-annual Bug Barometer forecast, which predicts the pest pressure in different regions of the country. The Bug Barometer uses a combination of pest biological and weather patterns to make a prediction.
