Wasp nests in Cornwall set to increase

A large increase in the number of wasp nests in Cornwall, Devon and throughout the UK is predicted for the summer of 2015. Last year saw an estimated 87% increase in wasp numbers, and this year is set to see another rise in the numbers of wasps.

The wasp population is very dependent on the weather, with 2013 seeing a decrease in numbers. The cold winter, warm spring and predicted hot summer of this year is set to cause an increase in the wasp population. This may lead to an increase in the aggressiveness of the wasps, and there will be more wasp nests.

Wasp nests often occur in locations that raise concerns over the danger they present to your family and pets. It is not advisable to treat a wasp nest yourself, particularly as a large proportion of wasp nests are situated at height or in a confined space.
