These buzzing, winged insects with yellow and black striped bodies are a familiar sight across the UK. Unlike bees, their bodies have a waist and they are around 10-15mm long. One wasp nest may produce 30,000 wasps annually,
The problems wasps cause
A wasp sting can be very painful. Some people can have a violent allergic reaction to wasp stings, with several people dying each year as a result. Wasps are most likely to sting in August and September when the sweet food they prefer is available.
Wasps annual cycle
Wasp nests typically begin to form from early to mid-June and continue to develop throughout the year, reaching their peak in September and October, largely depending on weather conditions.
You might only see the entrance of a nest, which could appear as a small hole on the exterior of your home or a space beneath your roof tiles, especially when wasps are active on warm days. We’ve also discovered nests in garages, sheds, and other outdoor structures.
Common locations for wasp nests include attics, cavity walls, garages, eaves, porch canopies, and trees. Removing wasp nests is a specialty of Direct Pest Control, and the process is both affordable and efficient.
Wasp nests – How we treat them:
To remove a wasp nest we need to spray the wasp nests thoroughly with insecticide. They usually die off within 24 hours of this treatment, but it can be as soon as 20 minutes.
We can help to prevent wasps in commercial buildings by erecting window screens and installing electrical devices that attract, kill and catch wasps.
- Before beginning any work, we’ll do a full survey and risk assessment to determine the best approach.
- All our technicians are trained by the BPCA (British Pest Control Association), the RSPH (Royal Society for Public Health), and the Property Care Association.
