Where have all the wasps gone?
As the warm summer months roll in, many of us are noticing something unusual – the distinct lack of wasps buzzing around. This year, the absence of these stinging insects has been particularly noticeable, leaving many to wonder: where have all the wasps gone?
Our team at Eraserpest has been closely monitoring this phenomenon and we have some insights to share. In fact, our research on the declining wasp population was recently featured in an article on the BBC, shedding light on the possible reasons behind this unusual trend.

One of the main factors contributing to the decrease in wasp numbers is the changing climate. Warmer winters and wetter summers have disrupted the natural habitats of wasps, impacting their ability to thrive and reproduce.

What to do if you are stung by a wasp
If you find yourself attacked by a wasp, it’s important to know how to react promptly and effectively to minimize pain and potential complications. Here are some steps to take if you are stung by a wasp:
1. Stay Calm: It’s natural to feel panicked or scared when stung by a wasp, but remaining calm is crucial. Try to stay still and avoid sudden movements to prevent further provoking the wasp.
2. Remove the Stinger: If the wasp leaves its stinger behind, gently scrape it off your skin with a fingernail or a blunt object. Avoid using tweezers, as this can release more venom into the skin.
3. Clean the Area: Wash the affected area with soap and water to prevent infection. Apply a cold compress or ice pack to reduce swelling and alleviate pain.
4. Control Itching: If itching persists, you can apply a mild hydrocortisone cream or take an antihistamine to relieve symptoms. Avoid scratching the sting site, as this can lead to further irritation and potential infection.
5. Monitor for Allergic Reactions: In some cases, a wasp sting can trigger a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Watch for symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, and dizziness. If you experience any of these signs, seek immediate medical attention.
6. Seek Professional Help: If you are unsure how to treat a wasp sting or if you experience severe symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact a healthcare provider or seek assistance from a pest control professional. They can provide expert guidance and support to ensure your well-being.
