Brits warned of major wasp invasion that could see stinging pests descend in just weeks

The UK could be hit by a major wasp invasion towards the end of the summer, thanks to this year's hot and dry weather.

Many pest control firms are already reporting more call-outs than average for early August.

A late summer surge is normal, but this year's soaring temperatures and lack of rain could lead to a particularly high number of wasps across the country, The Sun reports.
