Wasps in Mosgiel and Dunedin
In the Otago Region the European Wasps such as the Common Wasp and German Wasp pose the greatest risk to human health. They also attack beehives and prey on native insects.
Both species feed on honey dew found in Beech forests, which in turn removes important sources of food for New Zealand’s native birds. Both wasp species usually build their nests in the ground or in banks although sometimes in hollow trees, walls or roof cavities. The nests are a distinctive spherical paper nest manufactured from chewed up wood fibre.
Locating the Nest
When noticing large numbers of wasps around your property, carefully observe the flight path of the wasps as this may lead you to the nest in your area. Carefully examining potential nest sites can reveal wasps entering and exiting from a small entrance hole around 3-5cm wide.
