Wasp control in our summers: are we done with the increase?

It’s that time of year again – wasps are plentiful! Due to the warm summer and mild winters, the wasp population in the Netherlands has increased substantially. Especially in August and September, when their nests are largest, they are an increasing problem. But why are there more wasps this year, and what can you do to keep them at bay?

Why More Wasps This Year?

Mild winters and warm summers create ideal conditions for wasps to reproduce. This means we will see an increase in wasp activity in 2024. The higher number of nests and longer activity means we are more likely to be bothered by these flying invaders.

Dangers of Wasps

Besides the fact that wasps can be quite annoying, their stings can also be dangerous, especially for people with allergies. A sting can cause painful swelling and, in severe cases, even anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it is important to pay attention and not take risks when you have a wasp nest nearby.

Preventive Measures

You can do a lot yourself to prevent wasp nuisance. Close food sources tightly, use wasp traps, and avoid odors that attract wasps, such as perfumes or sweet drinks outside. Have you already discovered a nest nearby? Don’t try to remove it yourself, as this can be dangerous.
