| Wasp Nest Information |
The nesting habits of wasps operate according to some of the same principles, however each species has their own specific nesting habits. Therefore, if you have been able to identify the type of wasp you have and are looking for the nest, it will help to know what their nesting habits tend to be.
Before looking at the nesting habits of wasps, however, you want to make sure that you do not instead have a bee problem, which is dealt with by different specialists. Bumble bees are easy to distinguish from wasps as they are far more furry and rounder than wasps, however honey bees look very similar. They are a little more hairy than wasps, and although they are striped they are not as bright as wasps. If you do find a nest and you find a swarm surrounding the nest, however, then you almost certainly have bees as wasps do not tend to swarm. The only time wasps will swarm around their nest is if the entrance is blocked. Blocking the entrance to a wasps nest is not an effective way of getting rid of them as they do not give up on it any easier than you would if someone came and changed the lock to your doors while you were away, or whilst you were still inside meaning you couldn’t get out. You wouldn’t just give up the house or resign yourself to dying inside, and neither do wasps. Instead, they get angry, and you have a bigger problem than before. Be sure, therefore, to call in professionals to deal with the problem for you. It will be helpful if you can tell them where the nest is, though.
There are three main places which wasps and hornets make their nests. Inside, outside and underground. The Common wasp tends to build their wasps indoors, for example in a loft, shed or basement. Sometimes it can be hard to find their nests, and if you do then remember to keep your distance, you don’t want to be perceived as a threat.  If you can just find the way into the space they are using, though, then this will be enough for the wasp controllers who come to deal with it. For example, you might find a lot of wasps coming and going from a gap between tiles in the roof, or really any hole around the house. Remember you are not looking for a swarm, it will be more like an airport, with wasps coming and going every few seconds.
German wasps, on the other hand, tend to make their nests in trees or bushes, low down. They are also more likely to use rabbit holes as a nesting place, or any other readymade way underground. Be careful, therefore, when looking for a wasps nest outside that you don’t accidentally trip over it. If you do, even though usually the advice is to keep still when a wasp is around so as not to aggravate it, the wasp is already aggravated so you should run away as fast as possible. Although wasps do chase, after about 50 yards they usually give up.
Hornets also usually build their nests outside, although usually higher up in trees. They also use hollowed out trees quite often as a nesting site. If you do have a problem with hornets, there is no need to be any more concerned than if they were wasps, they are not any more powerful or aggressive than wasps, as is commonly believed. Not in this country anyway.
As soon as you find the general location of the nest you are ready to call in the professionals who will be able to get rid of the problem for you.
