Watch the flight line first
Wasps returning repeatedly to the same spot on a house or outbuilding usually give the nest away long before you can see it directly. Watch from a safe distance on a mild, still afternoon and let the flight path lead you to the right part of this guide.
Eaves and loft hatches on the 1930s semis
Wasp nests in Bexley show up under the eaves and loft hatches of the borough's 1930s semis and bungalows, where a gap at the fascia board or a slipped tile lets a queen into the roof space in spring. A bungalow's eaves are often within easy reach, which makes a quick check worthwhile before the weather warms up.
Outbuildings near the Erith riverside
On the industrial land near Erith, sheds, stores and outbuildings standing away from any house give a queen a quiet, undisturbed spot for months at a time. If wasps seem to be coming from a building rarely opened, treat it exactly like a nest in the house: leave the entrance alone and don't go in to check.
Garden trees near Old Bexley and Hall Place
The mature gardens around Old Bexley and Hall Place also shelter nests in hollow trees and dense hedges, which can go unnoticed until hedge-cutting or pruning disturbs them.
What to do today
- Keep children and pets away from the flight line
- Keep windows shut on the side of the building where the nest is
- Leave the entrance untouched rather than trying to block it
- Clear fallen fruit and sweet drinks from the garden, which attract wasps late in summer
