Wasps cause more trouble in Czechia

In July, Czech firefighters dealt with hundreds more insect nests, including wasps and hornets, compared to last year. Despite this increase, experts say wasps are not overpopulated but are more active due to warm, dry weather. Most incidents occur near homes, with nests often found in attics, roofs, and garden sheds. Wasps play a vital role in the ecosystem, serving as predators and pollinators. The Plzeň region saw the highest number of interventions, while Liberec had the fewest.
