Default Wasps nest in the attic


wrote in message
...
Hi,

I've had a wasps nest in a very tight space within my attic roof void.
I'm wondering when the wasps will leave it and fly off.

I need to get up there and do some maintainance before the winter but
dont want to be attacked. I cant get to the nest to spray it either.

Can anyone help?


Your local pest control contractors can help, at a price, if the nest
remains active. It should be deserted by now (late November), since the
queen should die in autumn, rapidly followed by the workers, and next year's
queens should have found suitable hibernation sites. If you have not noticed
any wasp activity recently, it's probably OK. However, as the only way to
tell for sure is to get up there and investigate, which is what you are wary
of, you may be advised to phone a local contractor and ask for advice/help.
