Households may need to brace themselves for an influx of wasps, according to an insurer.
Aviva warned that the inconsistent weather so far this year could lead to a surge in wasp problems in July and August.
It said that JG Pest Control – which provides a pest control service for Aviva Home Emergency customers through a collaboration with HomeServe – dealt with nearly 13,000 incidents of wasp infestations between April and October last year. More than half (54%) of cases happened in July and August.
The pest control service reported that inconsistent weather in June 2021 led to a fall in wasp-related inquiries – suggesting the numbers could shoot up in July and August.
