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?

Thanks

No rule says they will die in the winter. We had damn great big ones
periodically all last winter from our roof-space
Suggest expert removal of nest for peace of mind unless TOTALLY defunct.

The "damn great big ones" will be the queens hibernating until the
following spring. Each one you kill will be one less nest next summer.
They don't usually hibernate in the old nest.
