Wasps can be bothersome and painful, but they're an important part of the natural ecosystem. For example, wasps pollinate flowers and prey on other insects and pests that damage crops and gardens.

When you see a wasp, do not swat it away. This Swatting movement will put the wasp in defence mode and make it more likely to sting you. If a wasp comes near you, the best thing to do is stay calm and slowly walk away. The HSE have some good information on Wasp Stings HERE

If there is a lot of Wasp activity in your garden or around your building, we recommend a professional wasp control solution, particularly now in the late Summer as the nest will contain thousands of insects. Getting wasp control experts in will not only eliminate the pest in a safe and professional way, it will give you peace of mind that the wasps won't return, if you follow our advice. We will identify the species of wasp you have and use our expertise to rid you of the problem. We will customise our treatment to ensure effective control based on location. And we will tell you what to do to prevent the problem from recurring. Not only will we treat the colony, we may remove the nest for extra safety and peace of mind.

SIGNS OF WASP NESTS

There are three major signs of wasp infestation: swarming insects, buzzing sounds and visible structures.

Swarming insects. A major sign of wasp infestation is when you begin to see large numbers of the insect swarming in an area. Following the flight path of these wasps may lead you to the location of the nest, as wasps need to feed their queen and look after their young.

Buzzing sounds. Often you must rely on sound rather than sight to locate a wasp nest, especially if it is above your roofline or in another out of the way location. Wasp nests produce a loud persistent buzzing sound that is unmistakeable. When you hear it, you know you have a problem and that it's time to call in the pest control experts.

Visible structures. You might also discover visible evidence of a wasp nest. Muddy deposits or thin paper-like material are signs of a nest, as they often constitute it. Different species of wasp build different kinds of nest in a variety of places but when you see one it is hard to mistake the evidence. Wasp nests start off small – about the size of a ping-pong ball – but as time goes by and the population increases, they usually grow to the size of a football. When you've identified a wasp's nest, it's important not to get too close, in order to avoid a nasty sting. Remember, wasps turn hostile if they feel threatened, so be careful not to disturb the colony in any way.
