Last season was a bumper summer for wasps in all areas of East Anglia.
'Wasps nest Ipswich, Wasps nest Norwich, Wasps nest Cambridge' were all we heard over and over again in our office.
The word wasp nest must have been mentioned thousands of times and the eradication of thousands of wasps nests carried out.
Our peak of wasps nest treatments came on 15th August where we treated 115 in one single day. As a business we have very accurate on line readings of where we achieved these numbers.
Wasps nests Bury St Edmunds: 12
Wasps nest Stowmarket: 9
Wasps nests Norwich: 48
Wasps nests Ipswich: 32
Wasps Nests Felixstowe: 6
Wasps nest Cambridge: 8
This gives an idea of where in East Anglia we found the treatments of wasps nests to be most predominant.
This also was backed up as we saw the numbers of wasps nests in Cambridge, wasps nest in Bury St Edmunds and Felixstowe drop quite substantially into the later part of September and then barely not a wasp in sight come late September.
The wasps nests in Norwich continued right through to late October where we had a figure of 9 still being treated on the 21st .
Our final wasps nest in Ipswich was treated on the 1st November, this proved to be our final wasps nest eradication in East Anglia for 2018
If our past trends come to the fore then we would expect a quieter summer this term as we have found exceptional seasons happen roughly one in every four, with global weather changes and our climate becoming warmer who can tell!!
