It’s that time of year when worker wasps have finished tending to their queen are now left to fly around aimlessly, eating fermented fruit, which makes them “extra bold” and want to fight. Pest controllers say they have been swamped this summer, as thousands of wasps descend on the lower mainland because of the dry spring and hot summer. Worker wasps have finished their life’s work as queen wasps have stopped laying and don’t need food brought to them. This means that the workers are free to go out and enjoy themselves which includes stealing meat and beer from summer barbecues. All this means that the wasps are likely to sting for no reason and they are now at their most dangerous.
