Wasp Prevention

It may not always be possible to prevent wasps from entering a property, particularly when they are foraging from surrounding areas.

However, reducing accessible food and suitable nesting opportunities can help make areas around homes and businesses less attractive.

Practical measures may include:

• Keeping rubbish securely contained

• Cleaning food and drink spills

• Avoiding leaving pet food outside unnecessarily

• Keeping outdoor food covered

• Cleaning outdoor eating and barbecue areas

• Maintaining gardens and vegetation

• Checking sheds and sheltered areas periodically

• Addressing suitable gaps and openings where appropriate

• Monitoring areas where wasps have previously nested

If you notice wasps repeatedly travelling to the same location, avoid sealing the opening until the activity has been properly assessed, particularly where a concealed nest may be present.
