When is the best time to manage wasp nests?

Managing wasp nests is most effectively done at night when the wasps are less active and are more likely to be inside the nest. At night, the temperatures are cooler, and most wasps tend to be resting, which greatly reduces the risk of being stung. This time allows for a more controlled and safer approach to treatment or removal.

During the day, wasps are highly active and more likely to defend their nest aggressively. Early morning may seem like a good alternative, but many wasps are still active and can quickly become a threat if they feel their nest is being disturbed. Attempting to manage nests during rain is generally not advisable, as the wasps may still be sheltered and can defend themselves effectively. Thus, managing wasp nests at night is the optimal choice for safety and efficiency.
