Wasp Control

When we arrive at your property first thing we do is to locate the wasps nest. Usually you will see a constant flow of wasps coming from a hole in brickwork, air vent or fascia boards however you may also find them nesting in sheds, compost heaps, roof spaces and have been seen under the bases of children’s playhouses. Our wasp nest removal team will select the most appropriate form of treatment for the individual circumstances.

In most cases we treat the wasp nest by applying a strong insecticide to the entrance to the nest. Wasps which have been outside will return to the nest bringing the insecticide in with them, an activity that will continue for only few hours. This fast, effective treatment is safe to pets and children inside the home.

Activity in and around the nest will gradually die out to the point where there will be no sign of activity at all. That’s normally achieved within 24 hrs. This is a quick, clean method which has been used by our experts for many years. Once the nest’s inhabitants have all been killed, it will not be re-used by any wasps in the future and can be safely removed if needed at a later day.

ABOUT WASPS

People often have an inherent fear of wasps. They are large, conspicuous buzzing insects with yellow and black striped, wasp-waisted bodies, 10-15mm long. They have a sweet tooth at one end and a painful sting at the other.

The larger queen wasp hibernates over winter, and then makes a wasps nest in the spring in which to lay her eggs. She feeds her young on insects until they grow into the worker wasps, around three to four weeks later. Workers, all sterile females, forage for over a mile in search of food. A single nest can produce 30,000 wasps in a year.

In August-September, wasps are particularly renowned for becoming a nuisance as the workers become more complacent in their surroundings.
