Wasps usually die during winter due to freezing temperatures. When temperatures are above normal for most of the winter, these wasps have a better chance of making it through the season.<\/p>\n<p>Queens from different wasp species seek places to shelter during winter, which includes the walls and other areas in and around homes. When you see wasps inside your home during spring, you\u2019re seeing queens coming out of their hiding spots and trying to head outdoors to get their new colonies started. More of these queens are able to live through the winter thanks to warmer temperatures, which can lead to higher wasp populations overall.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/05\/when-yellow-jackets-wasps-or-hornets-become-problem-pests-part-1-of-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">wasps<\/a> you see inside your home might not seem aggressive, but they can still sting when provoked.
