Wasps in my bathroom. Where are they coming from?

Customers often ask: I have noticed drowsy wasps in my bathroom in the morning, even though I haven’t left any windows open. I am curious about how they are getting inside the bathroom.

Wasps in my Bathroom

Have you ever noticed drowsy wasps in your bathroom despite having no open windows or obvious access points? This is a common question we receive during the wasp season. In most cases, the presence of wasps in your bathroom is a result of an active nest somewhere else in your building.

For instance, if there’s an active nest in the loft above the bathroom, the wasps will be attracted to the light coming from the bathroom when it’s dark in the loft. They will then crawl through small gaps in the spotlights fixed to the ceiling and end up trapped in the bathroom. The same can happen through any vents or cracks running from the voids of the building into the bathroom area.

The wasps may come into the bathroom during the night, attracted to any light source. You will see the wasps in your bathroom the next morning.

A Temporary Solution

To keep drowsy wasps out of your bathroom temporarily, you can spray a wasp/insect spray around the lights or cover the vent or crack with some tape or cloth.

A Better Solution

However, to get rid of the problem entirely, it’s essential to locate the source of the wasp infestation and remove it professionally. Wasp Destroyer can come to your home and fix the problem.
