Here it is Canberra, the eWasp spring queen counts for 2024!

Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve - 1,055 (eWasp|CoreEnviro Solutions Pty Ltd),
Jerrabomberra East Grasslands Nature Reserve - 551 (eWasp|CoreEnviro Solutions Pty Ltd),
Amtech Grasslands - 41 (eWasp|CoreEnviro Solutions Pty Ltd),
ACT Government - 2,200,
Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve - 351 (ACT Parks & Conservations Services),
Kerrison's Orchard, Pialligo - 271, and
Lady Denman Drive Resident - 55.

Grand Total - 4,524 eWasp spring queens caught and removed from the environment.

By removing the queens from the environment, an estimated 18 million worker wasps, and 1.4 million next generation queens

This is not only an excellent result for the Canberra community's open spaces, parklands etc., but also for the listed reserves which are home and breeding sites to endangered fauna species such as Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla), the Perunga Grasshopper (Perunga ochracea), and flora species such as Button Wrinklewort (Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides) and many other native grasses and forb species.

A big thank you to all who conducted an eWasp spring queen trapping program. Great job Canberra!

With eWasp spring queen trapping underway, the eWasp team has had a record number of spring queens caught in one trap in one single run, 45 spring queens at Jerrabomberra Wetlands. The same trap has seen 117 eWasp spring queens caught and removed from the environment over the past six weeks; this equates to an estimated 468,000 worker wasps and a further 35,100 next generation queens removed from the and surrounding areas.
How is everyone else going with their eWasp spring queen trapping?

With spring upon us, eWasp queens are emerging from hibernation, and queen trapping will commence. Soon, communities will put out their spring queen traps, ensure you only use registered lures or DIY recipes that have no or very little impact on native species.
We are asking the public to report all spring queens and nests to the eWasp Team. With the valuable data, we can monitor eWasp activity in your area.
Note: 1 spring queen can produce an estimated 4,000 workers wasps, an additional estimated 1,000 drones, and 1,000 -2,000 spring queens at the end of the season.
Nests and significant sightings can be reported via the eWasp app, free from both stores.
If you would like advice on trapping spring queens, contact us via email or phone.

This is why reporting and data collection is so important.

Gardeners and pest controllers say wasps, important predators and pollinators, appear to be in sharp decline

With spring just around the corner, eWasp spring queens will emerge from hibernation to establish nests. With wall cavities being one of the preferred nesting site in suburban areas, this is the time to seal cracks and crevices around doors and window frames.

European wasp queens in hibernation!
As the warm weather comes to an end, so too has wasp season. Next generation queens from untreated nests are now in winter hibernation and will re-emerge in the spring to establish their nests, therefore it is time to start preparing for next wasp season.
This is the time to start sealing cracks and crevices around doors and window frames to prevent the next generation queens from establishing nests in wall cavities.
To report a nest, contact the eWasp Team.

The eWasp app is ready for Fire Ant Reporting, Australia wide!
More resources outside the government are needed if we are ever going to get fire ants under control in Australia.

With 36,945 suspected fire ant reports made since May 2023 and 13,786 of them confirmed as positive, testing is a mammoth task for the governments and departments involved.
