The European Wasp is territorial, usually foraging for food in close proximity to its nest. It does not fly high, preferring to scavenge close to the ground. Large numbers generally indicate a nest is nearby, often in retaining walls, disused rubbish, wood piles, palm tree trunks or even underground. reduce opportunities for wasps to forage on rubbish, pet food and other food sources. The home gardener must continually clear all fruit that has fallen to the ground. The wasps are also attracted to sticky things and water.
