Wasp Nests Around Canterbury? Here’s What You Need to Know

Don’t Let Wasps Linger Into Autumn in Christchurch
Summer may be fading, but wasps haven’t packed up just yet. In fact, autumn is one of the most aggressive times for these stingers in Christchurch.

As food sources dry up, wasps become more desperate—and more likely to scavenge around your home, BBQ area, compost bin, or rubbish. Worse still, they’re more irritable and more likely to sting. If you’ve noticed an increase in buzzing activity or spot a nest, now is the time to act.

🐝 Why Wasps Are a Bigger Threat in Autumn:

• Aggressive behaviour: With limited food, they’re quicker to attack.
• Nest size peaks: By now, colonies can hold thousands of wasps.
• They’re sneaky: Autumn nests are often hidden—inside roof voids, wall cavities, letterboxes, or underground.
• DIY is dangerous: Disturbing a nest without the right gear can provoke a swarm.
