Signs Of A Wasp Infestation
If you notice a few wasps in your garden, then this isn’t necessarily an indication that you have a wasp nest on your property. During the summer months, most people will see wasps, or closely related species such as bees or hornets. Some signs that there is a wasp nest close by include:
- Visible Wasp Nests: Seeing a wasp nest is the most common sign that one is nearby. Wasp nests look like they are made from papier-mâché, and are usually teardrop-shaped with a small hole for entrance and entry.
- Buzzing Sounds: Wasps often like to build nests inside tight spaces, such as attics, wall cavities and garden sheds. So, while you might not be able to see the nest, you might notice a buzzing noise coming from inside these areas, or see wasps coming and going near them.
- Sticky Substances: While wasps don’t produce honey like bees, wasp larvae produce a sweet substance for worker wasps to consume while they work to find food and care for the queen wasp. This substance may leach into your walls and become visible.
If you notice any of these signs, contact us to book your wasp nest removal appointment and get back to a pest-free space.

Wasp Nest Removal Gloucester FAQs
What Do Wasps Eat?
Wasps are omnivorous and will eat almost anything, including sugary substances, leaves or plants, and even other insects, such as dead wasps or snails. They will also scavenge for human food and even meat, such as pieces of dead animals.
When Is Wasp Season In The UK?
Wasp season in the UK usually runs from early Spring to late Summer. This is normally between April and the end of September, but this can change depending on the temperature. During the winter, the old queens and males in the colony will die off, and the new fertile queens will hibernate and await the warmer weather.
What Happens If You Ignore A Wasp Nest?
Wasps will never use the same nest twice, so each wasp season the new queens will start foraging for wood to chew and use to build her new nest. The old nests are not destroyed, but left empty, which can mean that they end up becoming a home for other insect pests, such as moths or ants. As such, it’s important that you get rid of all empty or active wasp nests on your property.
