Stinging often increases as the wasps become irritable, with the onset of cooler weather, when they feed on over-ripe fruit.Wasp nests are not always noticeable until they have grown quite large, about the size of a rugby ball, and are often built in roof spaces and wall cavities, or in bushes, hollow trees or soil banks below ground.

While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. I used only a small proportion of the powder to deal with the nest, so this can sit on my shelf now, ready for next time. Nests start off about the size of a golf ball, but can grow to be bigger than a rugby ball and can contain up to 5000 wasps.
