Do you have a wasp problem in Twyford?
Wasps, Pest or Pollinator?
Both is the answer to the question. Wasps support the environment as pollinators and they play an important part in sustaining our eco system, saying this we have all experienced their annoying and aggressive behavior as an unwelcome pest at the all-important family and friends social events, the BBQ , the family picnic, a trip to the zoo and school events, as with most things in life, it’s all about balance and we all need to be well informed about all aspects of the existence of these creatures. There are more species of wasp like insects and even more undiscovered than any species of mammal or species of ant.
Wasps as Pollinators – Like bees and ants, wasps play an important role in supporting our ecosystem. Wasps are pollinators like some species of ants and of course the bee, however saying this they are not as effective, flower pollen is less likely to stick to their bodies and move from flower to flower unlike the bee, as well documented with fewer numbers of bees now recorded we will need the wasp as a key player in pollinating our flowers and crops, this is a key consideration when you look at the future of the planet and global economy. Twyford is a quaint village in Berkshire home to farms, fields and areas of beauty to roam, key to this we need the wasp to continue pollinating these areas.
Pollination is more scientific than just sight and smell, wasps and bees also use electricity to their advantage, pollinating flowers in Twyford and globally. The ability of wasps and bees to detect the electrical field around a plant can give them information such as the shape of the petal and even if another pollinating insect has visited the plant or crop to collect pollen, the atmosphere around the plant carries a negative charge where the air around it remains positive, the movement of the wasp can even cause the pollen to ‘jump’ to the wasps body without touching the plant.
It has been well documented that a world without wasps would be catastrophic to the existence of our planet Earth and mankind, wasps protect farmers crops and even some species of plant from extinction and indeed, as a whole, the world’s economy.

Wasps as Pests – Right across Twyford during the late Spring and early Summer wasps are a lesser problem, simply because they are just busy building and sustaining their nest and going about their daily routine. During these months they are more attracted to protein-based foods, largely other insects they predate and generally as the weather becomes warmer the BBQ is an optimum situation with meat-based foods being cooked for us and them to consume.
During the latter months of the summer and early Autumn their appetite changes to a sweeter tooth, foods such as fizzy drinks, beer, wine and fruit, apples, plums amongst many, this is the time when wasps become more aggressive and a time when pest control should be considered.
We are now talking about wasps as pests in Twyford, pests that cause panic when we should all be enjoying ourselves and if you are unlucky the victim of a painful sting. Added to the general fear and anxiety that some people experience is the serious situation of medical allergies and at its worst, anaphylaxis. This is a serious allergic reaction that can be life threatening and could be fatal, for more information on this please follow this link

We need wasps but how can we co-habit with them and reduce their impact on our routine and social activities?
There are practical steps we can all take to enable us to reduce the impact they have on us when we are going about our daily work and home-life.
• Wasps are attracted to the colours of yellow and white but cannot see red unlike the bull, when thinking about your outfit for a social gathering, this is something you may want to think about, as is the use of fragrant beauty products which also wasps are attracted to.
• When enjoying a BBQ or picnic, keep foods covered where possible and ensure there are no food remains left about, these will bring unwanted attention from wasps but also flies and other insects such as ants, another pest common in the summer.
• Pick fruit from your trees as soon as they are ripe and take indoors, pick up any fallen fruit, check your drinks before taking a sip, this could potentially be what saves you from a painful sting on the mouth or face.
• Be aware of the condition of your property in Twyford and consider any maintenance that may reduce the chance of a nest in and around your home/workplace. Check areas, barns, rooflines, lofts, soffits and facias, fill in where possible and call Maidenhead Pest Control if you believe you have a nest.
• European wasps create their nests in areas such as hedges and bushes at a much lower level than our native species, these wasps are more aggressive than the average wasp and many farmers, outdoor workers and keen gardeners have been stung simply by disturbing the nest when going about maintaining their land and property.
• Wasps are attracted to light, if you are popping up to your loft do not turn the light on immediately, listen for activity, if it all sounds quiet then proceed to turn the light on and then visually check for any signs of nests. Sometimes it’s helpful to put the loft light on and wait ten minutes before entering, if you discover wasps in your loft contact a local pest control company for advice and the way forward for treatment, check your company of choice in terms of reviews, Checkatrade, Little Green Book some of your options.
