Why paper wasp pressure is specific to Fleetwood
Fleetwood paper-wasp pressure is consistently among our heaviest Surrey areas because the housing stock provides ideal eave-nest sites: deep front-porch overhangs, attached-garage soffit returns, mature back-deck overhangs from kitchen-extension dormers, gazebo rafters in landscaped backyards. Mid-summer discovery during BBQ-time is the typical Fleetwood paper-wasp scenario — homeowners are doing their normal patio activities and notice the umbrella-shaped nest only when wasps become persistent at the dining-area sight-line. Repeated nesting in the same eave location across years is very common; we have Fleetwood callouts where the same eave has hosted a nest in 5+ consecutive years before the homeowner finally addresses the underlying surface or pheromone-substrate accumulation.
