Winter may be over, but this only means that it’s time for new problems, like wasp nests forming all around the house. Wasp infestations can be observed mostly in spring and summer, but with the warm weather in Australia, European wasps often skip their dormant period and are active all year long. Sometimes they can even be harder to get rid of and more dangerous to people. The main problem during this time of the year is that it is more difficult to locate the nests, because they are still small and sometimes hidden under the ground or in high trees.

[b]During summer the wasp nest grows significantly[/b], and the wasps fly in and out of the nest and it is easier to follow them and find the source of the infestation. But during spring the temperature is not as high, and the wasps avoid flying and seek shelter in your home instead. They move slower than usual and search for light and warmth. This is when people can sit or step on them by accident and get stung. There have even been cases in which wasps crawled into people's beds. The treatment of the disoriented spring wasps is more difficult than the usual treatment of a wasp nest in the summer. Even if you know how to get rid of a wasp nest on your own, it’s still risky and the results are unpredictable during spring.

[b]During their peak season wasps always go back to the nest[/b] and when it's treated, all life within it will cease for several hours. But this is not the case during spring. A lost wasp may not be able to go back to the nest for days or even never find its way back. This is the reason why a more specialised treatment is needed. The lost wasps can usually be found crawling on walls, ceilings and hiding in cracks of the building. These areas have to be treated with an insecticide, but it takes longer to reach the desired effect. Sometimes it can take up to 20 days to kill the entire wasp nest. Wasp problems in spring and early autumn, even winter, definitely take more resources to be dealt with. Therefore, it's important to know how to protect your home from pests during this time of the year.
