A female Queen Wasp leaves her winter home (a golf ball nest) in the early spring and looks for another place to start this year's nest.
An wasp nest is constructed from chewed vegetation and Wasp saliva to create a Paper Mache structure with layers of hexagonal cells (similar to a Bees honeycomb). The queen lays an egg in the hexagonal cells, which in turn grows into Wasp Grubs. Then those Wasp Grubs become Pupas, which then grow into Wasps
As the Wasps spend their time bringing food (insects) and building material back to the Wasp nest ensuring the continuous growth of the Wasp population and the size of the Wasp nest.
An average Wasp's Nest can house 5000 Wasp's on average, but in hotter summers, nests this large can house upwards of 10,000 Wasp's.
A Wasp will defend his territory viciously, so anyone who enters will be in danger of receiving numerous Wasp Stings, as Wasps are able to sting more than once, unlike Bees. A contributing factor to this increase in aggression is an increase in fermented fruit from Apples and Plums which are carried by the wasps in early autumn.
As the temperature drops in late October and early November, the worker Wasps die and the Queen leaves the nest, causing the Wasp nest to be redundant. Large Wasp Nests found in roof spaces in the early part of the year can be knocked off the rafter etc. and thrown in the bin. The queen is the only survivor, and she builds another nest in which to hibernate until spring. The whole process starts again the following early spring.

Quick And Simple Wasp Removal

The male wasp is generally smaller than the female wasp, ranging in size from 10mm to 20mm. Black and yellow stripes adorn their bodies, and they are often mistaken for bees until they are provoked into defending their territory. Since wasps are aggressive, many people find them to be a nuisance. They tend to build their nests in common areas, which then causes issues with the homeowners who will need to share space with these insects!
As the weather warms up in mid to early April wasps start making nests in which the queen can lay her eggs after emerging from hibernation. The first eggs to hatch are sterile female wasps that will tend to the young wasps. By the end of the summer, the nest and its surrounding locations could spawn thousands of new wasps. Female wasps are then fed by the queen, which produces males, who go on to mate before secluding themselves to hibernate for the winter.

If you do find a new wasp nest inside your home or on your property, do not attempt to remove it yourself. These nests are notoriously difficult to remove and many people are unaware of the risks some removal methods pose. When wasps deem you threatening their nest, they will attempt to sting you as well. An allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock) when wasps sting leads to swelling around the eyes, mouth, and throat. Also known as anaphylactic shock, symptoms produce rashes, itching, and swelling throughout the body. Anaphylaxis can be fatal in some cases. It is vital to remove wasps from your home, garden, or other property as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
