It's not uncommon for the average wasp nest to have hundreds of wasps in and around the nest. In the beginning, wasp nests can be a mere inconvenience, but if no wasp control is put in place, the issue will grow bigger very quickly. Don't put yourself and everyone around at risk of getting stung. It's extremely unpleasant and can lead to health complications for people and animals allergic to wasps.
The average wasps nest is home to hundreds of worker wasps and one queen wasp. Aside from the buzzing sound that they constantly make, some species of wasps in the UK are known to be particularly aggressive, increasing the risk of everyone around being stung or fiercely attacked in numbers.
If you are not allergic to wasps, aside from the pain and discomfort you will feel, a sting won't put your health at risk. However, if you, your family, or your pets are allergic to wasps, a single sting can be life-threatening.
Besides the health risk, wasps are known carriers of diseases and are often very dominant, which can cause them to displace other insects from the area such as bees.
