September - October - November.
It is the time of year when newly hatched queen wasps are emerging or about to emerge from the nest.
Queen wasps appear slightly plumper than worker wasps.
The last thing the nest does before it naturally dies off is to release new queens ready for the next season. Obviously, without these queens, the wasps would not be able to continue year after year.
Once these have left the nest, they never return to it and are no longer part of the nest.
If a nest treatment commences after these new queens have left, the insecticide will only kill the original workers still inhabiting the nest.
Freshly emerged queen wasps are now individual insects which are not linked to their birth nest and will not be killed by treating the nest from which they originated.
Typically, newly emerged queen wasps will leave the nest and find their way outside to mate with male wasps after which they find somewhere to hibernate. However, very often, many queens will walk away from the nest into the loft space or other cavities by mistake. Some of these may find their way inside the house.
As we move into the winter period, we advise customers that if wasps are not causing a direct problem, it is sometimes best to allow what remains of the colony to die off naturally.
Sweet feeding wasps
When queens start to emerge from the nest, the workers no longer have a food supply from the nest; this means they have to source food from elsewhere.
At this time of year, you may also see a large number of wasps feeding on bushes, trees (often on the ground below a tree) or other plants. This is NOT a nest, but wasps from several nests feeding on nectar-producing plants.
If you have wasps all over a particular tree (Willow, Lime trees or Ivy), you do not have a nest, in this case, nothing can be done.
