Why are wasps attracted to my Beech Hedge?

I have clematis plants weaving their way through my long beech hedge but can never get too close to tie them in due to the wasps!!

Why are wasps attracted to my Beech Hedge?
Wasps make their nests from wood that they collect, and it may be that they are chewing some of the wood from the older parts of your Beech plants, to build a nest somewhere else. They often chew away at fences too - they're doing this now in my garden.





Washing up liquid diluted down and sprayed will kill wasps, and this may give you the chance to get to your Clematis, to tie it etc. Otherwise, if you can find the nest, you could remove it, after spraying it with a wasp killer. There are some invasive wasps that will attack your face, so be careful!





Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob

The wasps may have a nest in the ground under the beech hedge.
Reply:wasps want a place to live so get a can of wasp spray it wherever they attach so they will go away.
