Understanding the Wasp Problem
Wasps are a common sight in the UK, especially during the warmer months. While they play a role in the ecosystem by controlling other insects, they’re far from welcome when they decide to build a nest in your loft, shed, eaves, or wall cavity.
The most common species in the UK are:
- Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris)
- German wasp (Vespula germanica)
Both are known for their painful stings and can become aggressive if they feel their nest is threatened, posing a real risk to homeowners, particularly children, pets, or anyone with an allergy.
The Uninvited Buzzers
Wasps don’t ask permission before moving in—and once they’re settled, they’ll defend their space fiercely. A single nest can house thousands of wasps by late summer, and their behaviour becomes more erratic and aggressive as the season goes on. That’s why early intervention is key.
Signs of a Wasp Infestation
Wondering if wasps have made themselves at home on your property? Keep an eye (and ear) out for:
- Increased Wasp Activity: Frequent wasp traffic to and from a particular spot, such as a hole in the wall or roof.
- Visible Nest: Nests are papery and greyish, often found in lofts, sheds, under eaves, or even underground.
- Buzzing Sounds: A constant humming from behind walls or in ceiling voids.
- Aggressive Behaviour: Wasps flying indoors or swarming near bins, food, or sweet drinks.
The Risks of a Wasp Nest at Home
- Stings: Painful and potentially dangerous, especially for those with allergies or young children.
- Aggression: Wasps become increasingly aggressive as the season progresses.
- Nest Growth: A small nest in spring can turn into a large, problematic colony by late summer.
- Access Indoors: Nests in lofts or wall cavities can lead to wasps entering living spaces.

Prevention Tips: Keeping Wasps at Bay
While you can’t always prevent wasps from visiting, you can reduce the chance of them nesting on your property:
- Seal Cracks & Gaps: Pay attention to eaves, rooflines, and air bricks.
- Cover Bins: Keep outdoor bins sealed and clean to avoid attracting foraging wasps.
- Limit Sweet Scents: Be mindful with sugary drinks and fruit bowls in open windows or garden areas.
- Use Decoy Nests: In spring, hanging decoy nests may deter queens from settling.
- Check Early: If you spot early signs of a nest, act before it grows.
