Multiple reports cite pest control firm Rentokil warning of a rise in wasp activity in the UK. The company says insect activity has spiked by 61% and that wasp nests are being found in unexpected places beyond typical outdoor locations like trees. According to the reports, technicians have discovered nests in items such as sofas, handbags, children’s toys, and other household or stored items including garden furniture and boots. The accounts emphasize that wasps can establish nests in sheltered spaces and materials, not only in open air or gardens. The coverage presents the warning as a public safety reminder to be alert to wasps entering or nesting in indoor and outdoor belongings, particularly where items may have been left outside, stored, or not regularly disturbed. No specific details are provided about particular injuries, locations, or dates beyond the overall activity increase cited by Rentokil.
