When it comes to dealing with stinging insects, timing is crucial but not obvious. When is the best time to remove a wasp nest? We are here to help with a few tips:
-The best time to remove a wasp nest is on the transitional weather around a rainstorm. Working in the rain is less than fun for people as well so look for a break in the storm. During storms such as a thunderstorm, wasps will remain docile and near motionless in between bouts of rain. A quick poke test can determine if they will hang around or take off. If they are in a hunker down mode, they can be removed by placing a bag over them or simply scooping up their nest with a shovel.
-The nest best timing for wasp nest removal is after dark. Most wasp colonies gather back together in the evening delivering the bulk of the population to you in one big clump. Keep in mind while this is the best time of day to find the wasps all together and in a more relaxed state, it is also the time of day where it is harder to see them. It is also the time of day that is easiest to trip, so consider the pros and cons before the nocturnal attack.
