Professional Wasp Control
At Pest Dominion, we understand the complexity of wasp nests and the importance of safe, effective wasp control services for homes and businesses. Learn about the fascinating wasp nest life cycle and how we can help manage wasp infestations safely and professionally.The Wasp Nest Life Cycle
The wasp nest life cycle begins in spring when the queen wasp awakens from hibernation and searches for the ideal location to build her nest. Using chewed wood fibres and saliva, she constructs a papery, honeycomb-like structure, often found in trees, attics, roof eaves, or wall cavities. She then lays her first batch of eggs, which hatch into worker wasps that help expand the nest and take care of the young grubs.Worker Wasps and Nest Growth
Worker wasps emerge from the eggs and take over essential tasks, such as gathering food and defending the nest. They collect nectar for energy and protein from insects, feeding it to the developing larvae. Throughout spring and summer, the nest grows, sometimes housing up to 5,000 wasps during peak season. These workers are dedicated, travelling up to half a mile to find food and expand the nest.Wasp Reproduction in Autumn
By mid autumn, the nest begins producing males (drones) and new queens. The drones leave the nest to mate, while the new queens prepare to hibernate. The queen stores sperm in her reproductive tract, enabling her to start a new nest the following spring. As autumn approaches, the nest declines, and only the fertilised queens survive the winter.Risk
