Why Are Wasps So Bad This Year?
During the hot summer, wasps are at their most active. They are out hunting for food and looking for mating opportunities. They are also more likely to sting.
While there are some wasp species that will sting without provocation, other species can sting repeatedly. If you are stung by a wasp, stay calm and try to move away slowly. If you can’t, ask for help or offer a share of food.
As the weather gets colder, the wasp’s quest for food slows down. They start to look for a warm, safe place to nest. They will find this in your home, in the basement, or in your yard. You can prevent wasp stings by preventing them from nesting in your home, and by taking preventative measures to avoid attracting wasps.
Wasps are not the only insects that are struggling to survive in the UK during the hot summer months. The drought is also causing forest fires and hurting plant growth. It is also making it harder for queens to establish their nests. This means that wasps are coming into contact with more people.
It has been reported that this year was a “bumper year” for wasps in the UK. According to pest-control companies, there have been more calls to their offices for “wasp interventions” than the past several years. This is good news for wasps, but bad news for people who are trying to enjoy the summer.
Wasps are small, nimble insects that can sting repeatedly. Some species are very territorial, and may attack without provocation.
