Winter Wasp Warning
This is the time of the year queen wasp’s will drop down below the leaf litter to prepare for over wintering activities. They abandon their existing colony of wasps leaving the workers to continue unattended.
Because of the queen vacating the nest, worker wasps try and find new colonies, but will not be allowed in because their pheromones do not link up. Soon, these wasps will begin to take refuge around pools, parks and homes and will become easily agitated.
To help combat aggressive wasps, buy wasps traps, baited with orange soda or grenadine. Eliminate sugar harborages in and around your home that may be of interest to wasps. Always remember to keep your distance from hives that you may come across and seek the help of a professional.
