Now we’re approaching the warmer weeks of spring as we gear up for summer, we want to start to enjoy the weather as much as possible. The weekends are coming when we can get the family round, but a few burgers on the BBQ and have a great time at local fairs and festivals. But it’s really important to remember this. If you don’t take the proper precautions, stinging insects may also come to join you and ruin your fun. That is where wasp pest control and prevention in London cone into play.
At the beginning of spring, stinging insects become more active looking for food. And places to build their nests. They tend to get a lot more agitated, making sure they can gather enough food for their queen. So this is a great time of year to be very aware of stinging insects.
Stinging insects tend to join us at outside events like picnics because they want to feed on the proteins and sweets that we like to eat too. If you have any open containers of food or sweet drinks, they will be attracted to it. There are a few things you can do.
Prevent stinging insects invading your spring party…
- Make sure you put all rubbish in a bin with a tightly fitting lid, so that everything is sealed.
- Provide cups that have lids on them.
- Clean up any food and drinks leftover once people have finished.
- Place all food inside, and then come outside to eat. Don’t leave food out unattended.
