Wasps make their nest under eaves, behind shutters, and in any wall voids. They build their nests in attic spaces, fascias, and rafters.
Wasps also like garages, garden sheds, and decks. European hornets also build nests in tree trunks and bushes.
A single wasp nest may have up to 25,000 wasps.
Wasps are adaptable nesters, setting up colonies in spots around the home that often go unnoticed. Discover more about where they are likely to build their nests around your property and how to implement effective wasp control.
