Standard mesh: 1.3-1.4mm. Good for insects such as cabbage root fly, onion fly, bean seed fly and carrot fly, as well as moth and butterfly pests. Birds and mammalscanalso be excluded. Although theoretically capable of penetrating mesh, mammals and larger birds seldom do, so there is rarely any need to add further protection such as bird netting. However, this size isunreliable in excluding small insects such as aphids, flea beetle, allium leaf miner and leek moth. Once the queen has built the nest eggs are laid in each hexagonal cell. These eggs turn to the larva in a few days and eventually pupate into adults. It can take up to 48 days for adult wasps to emerge.

Fence panels, sheds, gates and wooden window frames are all ideal places for wasps to nest.
