Removing a Wasp Nest
A wasps nest is easily recognisable, as it looks like a round papery ball. Wasps nests are essentially made from chewed wood, which the queen wasp starts building in early Spring. Wasps generally go unnoticed during April and May as the nests are too small and the number of wasps and wasp larvae housed in them is insignificant. A wasps nest during April and May will be a small round ball – about the size of a golf or tennis ball. Removing a wasps nest is straightforward in the early stages, as the whole wasps nest can be completely removed, provided it is accessible.
Wasp nest’s grow in size during the Summer, and during June it is more common to see a steady yet constant stream of wasps flying in and out of an entry hole. A wasp’s nest in the wall cavity between brick work is also quite common, and the first indication of a wasps nest in the wall is seeing wasps flying in and out of the brick work.
Wasp Extermination
Removing a wasps nest or wasp infestation in a wall cavity is difficult, as the brickwork prevents easy access. However, wasp pest control is effective at treating wasps nests; rather than removing the wasps nest in this scenario your wasp pest control service is more likely to kill the wasp nest using wasp insecticide.
Wasps out in nature are not classed as a pest, if you see wasps flying in your garden for example, but there is no nest, then your wasp pest control service will be unable to treat the wasps. They are just wasps flying around your garden which is natural and normal during an English summer, and not classed as a wasp infestation.
A wasps nest in trees in the countryside away from human habitation is again, just a wasp nest in its natural habitat and it is unlikely that a wasp pest control company will treat a wasps nest in woodland. However, wasps in a children’s park do present a health and safety concern due to the likelihood of children being stung by wasps, so in this case wasp pest control services are advised.
Professional Wasp Pest Control
If you are unsure if you have a wasps nest in your house or garden, the best step is to call a local pest control company with wasp pest control services. They can normally ascertain over the phone whether you are likely to have a wasp’s nest on your property. It is advisable to leave wasps alone and best to avoid trying to get rid of wasps yourself. A large wasp infestation generally requires professional wasp extermination services to remove the wasp nest safely and efficiently.
