Queen wasp coming out of hibernation

In summer, the Queen Wasps come out of their hibernation and start building their new nest. The wasp population won’t start to build until July and August. This is when Anglo Scottish Pest Control is at its busiest time in Edinburgh dealing with wasp problems.

During the summer months, people may start to notice wasp problems in their home such as:

• Active wasp nests in your home, garage or business premises
• The hibernating queen wasps waking too early
• Nuisance wasps where the nest cannot be found

These are all very common wasp problems during warm weather.  The safest way of dealing with wasps is to contact a professional wasp controller.  Anglo Scottish Pest Control’s wasp experts can solve all your wasp problems in Edinburgh and throughout the Lothians.

In the spring when nests are first built, there are only a handful of wasps at most within the nest. Starter nests in home lofts vary in size, ranging from 1 inch to 3 inches in diameter, and resemble a grey coloured golf ball. Any nests much bigger than this are starting to grow and will contain a large number of wasps. As the summer progresses, the nest grows in size. By late July into early August the nests will be at full strength, making it the most dangerous time to interfere with a wasp nest.
