Why Wasps Are More Active in Irish Summers?
Summer in Ireland is a time for garden parties, barbecues, and coastal walks, but it’s also the peak season for wasp nests, and these buzzing invaders are far more than a simple nuisance.
Wasps become aggressive in the warmer months because their colonies are at their largest, and their food sources (like sugary drinks and proteins) align perfectly with human activity. Whether you’re in Dublin, Cork, or a rural village, wasps can quickly turn a sunny afternoon into a full-blown hazard.
The Hidden Problem with Wasp Nests
Most homeowners don’t realise they have a wasp problem until the nest has matured. By late July, a single nest can contain thousands of wasps, becoming more dangerous as the colony expands.
Signs you might have a wasp nest nearby:
- Constant wasp activity near your attic, eaves, or garden shed
- A papery, round nest visible in a loft, tree, or wall cavity
- Buzzing or humming sounds from hidden wall spaces
Trying to remove the nest yourself is not only risky, it’s potentially life-threatening for those with allergies.
Did You Know?
- A queen wasp hibernates through winter and starts building nests as early as April
- One mature wasp nest can produce over 10,000 wasps in a single season
- Wasps don’t die after stinging, which makes them more dangerous than bees
DIY Wasp Control: What Not to Do?
Google is full of quick fixes for how to get rid of wasps, from boiling water to burning nests. But in reality, DIY wasp control often does more harm than good.
Why?
- Wasps release alarm pheromones when disturbed, causing others to swarm
- Aggressive nest disturbance can result in multiple stings
- Destroying a nest without treating the core can lead to relocation, not elimination
That’s why many people call in a professional wasp removal service, especially when nests are located in high-risk areas like schools, nursing homes, or outdoor restaurants.
