The 2009 wasp season is almost with us once again, what would summer be without our old friends the wasps to irritate us as we enjoy our summer barbeques?

The biology of the wasp means they are rarely seen much before July as until then only the queen wasp is in the nest.

In spring the over-wintered queens leave their hibernating quarters to find nesting sites which could be in a hole in the ground, a hollow tree or artificial structures such as chimneys eaves, lofts and attics, garden sheds etc.

The new queen starts to construct her nest with a papery material that she makes by chewing small slivers of wood mixed with saliva; this is called Wasp paper.

She will raise the first few workers by her own efforts and those workers will then commence the enlargement of the nest and caring for the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest construction gets into full swing in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be present. These workers will forage up to 400 metres from the nest. The size of wasp colonies will vary from year to year, the severity of the previous winter is probably the main factor.

In the early Autumn the immature queens mate and leave the nest to hibernate, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never used again.

Many People react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, while others suffer considerable pain and swelling and a few become seriously allergic to being stung, which in rare cases results in sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.
Control
It is adviseable to let a professional Pest Controller destroy a Wasps’ nest for the reasons given above. An insecticide will be injected into the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the middle of the nest and within a few hours all wasps should be dead.

It is inadvisable to allow a wasps’ nest to remain untreated as the immature queens produced by the nest will invariably build nests nearby in the following spring resulting in many more nests the following year. For this reason several nests are often found close together in a neighbourhood a locality.
