Land seat of King Charles III.: Sandringham suffers from wasp plague

King Charles III is said to be with a special problem. (76) are currently confronted with Sandringham. As “The Sun” reported, there was a “huge plague of wasps” in the country residence in Norfolk. Therefore, the pest control had to come. Tourists are also warned of the stinging insects.

As the newspaper noted, the number of wasps and bees “has increased over Great Britain for 50 years after the driest spring”. This is also noticeable on Sandringham. In July, the employees had to call pest control in order to have at least three wasp nests removed at the royal stud.

Other precautionary measures were also taken on the approximately 20,000 hectare site: garbage containers were covered with fabric and warning signs around Sandringham House were set up. Visitors to the house and the gardens are asked to be particularly careful near garbage buckets. “Please note that there is currently a high wasp activity in this area”, according to “Sun” you can read on the signs.

In addition, wasp catchers were made of plastic to attract the insects, to capture them and to leave them open elsewhere. A source emphasized King Charles’s love for the world. Wasps are an important part of the ecosystem and nobody wanted to harm them. “But everyone is aware that too many wasps could be a problem for visitors. This year there was much more than normal, so it’s a challenge.”
