Identifying Wasp Nests in Your Loft

Understanding the Wasp Lifecycle
Wasps usually begin building their nests in the spring, and this process continues throughout the summer months and into the autumn. However, the wasps will die and the nests will become inactive in the winter when temperatures drop. Knowing the time of year you spot the wasp nests can help you determine if they are active or not.
How to Check if a Wasp Nest is Active
The most effective way to determine if a wasp nest is active is to go into the loft and turn on the light. Close the hatch and wait for five minutes. Then, open the loft hatch, if you see wasps flying around the light, it indicates that there is an active nest in the loft. Sometimes wasp nests are not immediately visible and can form in voids or under the insulation. Therefore, even if you don’t see a nest, there could still be an active wasp nest in the area.
