There’s a lot you can learn about wasps that you probably didn’t know. As a company specialising in wasp removal, we know a lot about them!
The wasp comes in many variants, but the most common for the UK would be the European wasp.
The queen builds a single stalk, or petiole, in the spring. Then, she adds one hexagonal cell at the end. She quickly follows this with about six more cells around the middle one. The queen builds each cell, and then lays an egg inside it. While this early work may go unnoticed, it often starts a larger infestation. For this reason, professional wasp removal in Surrey is vital for early nests. This safely manages hazards before colonies grow big.
Once the eggs hatch and turn into adult worker wasps, they take over nest building. Therefore, the queen’s only major job is laying eggs and running the nest from then on. Understanding this life cycle is key for effective Hornet Control in Surrey. Early spotting of developing Hornet Nests allows for safer treatment. It also ensures more efficient Hornet Nest Removal.

The Wasp Guys prioritise your safety above anything else. Wasps are incredibly aggressive, and they will attack in bunches to defend their nests and the queen wasp. A single sting can trigger anaphylactic shock in rare cases. If a wasp sting causes an allergic response, get medical assistance right once.
Wasps typically emerge from hibernation between March and June, with the Queen Wasp requiring around 4-6 weeks to construct a modest nest. Once established in the nest, the Queen can produce up to a hundred eggs every day, resulting in hundreds of additional wasps per week. Only female wasps have the ability to sting.
The largest wasp nest found in the UK was above a pub in Southampton and measured 5ft by 6ft.
Previous largest wasps nest in the world was found in New Zealand in 1967 and measured 12ft.
This wasp is bad-tempered and the most common to see in the UK. The species typically has a single queen who produces between 6,000 and 10,000 workers. Their nests are usually found in the ground, in roofs or trees and are football-sized.
These wasps have a noticeable red colour on their abdomens, with smaller nests that are always underground. A single queen typically produces approximately 300 workers. These wasps will be seen out until late August.
There are three species of Dolichovespula in the UK. They are bigger than the Vespula wasps with blacker abdomens, and are typically seen in early-mid summer. Their queens leave the nest in early August and so their colonies calm down around this time.
These are extremely rare to see in the UK as an effective extermination protocol has been developed for managing this invasive species. If sighted they should be reported with photos to the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at alertnonnative@ceh.ac.uk.
These hornets are twice the size of most other wasps. They have a single queen and around 100 workers, and like to nest in tree cavities or bird boxes.
