Wasps are certainly a safety issue, especially around children and pets – a single sting can be painful, but multiple stings can be a serious health concern.

For those who suffer allergic reactions to wasp and bees stings, a single sting can be life threatening.

Trying to deal with a wasp problem yourself, especially with European wasps, can be very dangerous without specialised products and the necessary protective clothing.

How we get rid of wasps > Professional Wasp Treatments

Our Wasp Nest Treatment Process

As with all our pest treatments we start with a thorough inspection to fully understand the nature of the problem. If you know the location of a nest, do not approach it, just direct our professionals to the location.
Once we have located the nest or nests, nest entry points and identified the species of the wasp present, we can determine the best treatment method. For nests in roof voids or wall cavities, we will also check inside the building to make sure there are no escape routes which will allow wasps to enter the building.
Typically, we will use a liquid spray to treat the nests, but sometimes we blow insecticide powder into the nest, depending on its location.

Safety concerns?

We will always discuss any safety concerns you may have before carrying out a treatment. We do this over the phone at the time of booking and also carry out an on-site risk assessment before starting a treatment.

It’s important that people and pets are kept clear of the treatment area until the nest has been eliminated and our pest technician has confirmed it is safe to re-enter the area. Apart from the danger of being stung it is important that our pest technician are not distracted during the treatment.

We will often schedule the treatment for later in the afternoon or early evening when the majority of the wasps are back in the nest and they tend to be calmer.

We always choose the products with the best safety and environmental profile.

How do you know you have a wasp nest on your property?

Increased number of wasps around the home

Observing an increased number of wasps is a sure sign of a nearby nest. However, they can fly quite a distance from their nest, so the nest may not be on your property. If you can, try and track where they are flying to / from – this will help you find the nest.

Wasp nests increase in size during the season. Queens emerge in spring to start new nests, which increase in size over the warmer months. Wasp activity will be the highest in Autumn when the nests have reached their maximum size.

You can check for nests (but be careful!)

Native paper wasps will build their nests in sheltered areas, typically under the eaves of homes and under leaves or branches in the garden. Native paper wasps tend to have smaller nests (up to a few hundred individuals) but there can be a lot of nests in a small area. Be careful when you’re gardening as it is easy to knock a nest on a plant without knowing it’s there!

European wasps are a different beast altogether. This invasive pest can develop huge nests of over 10,000 individuals. Although homeowners are more likely to spot nests under the eaves of their home, in the roof void or occasionally in trees, actually around 80% of European wasp nests are underground, often dug out of raised areas of soil with good drainage.

It’s important to remember that wasps can fly some distance from their nest to a feeding site (especially European wasps) and so the wasps you find on your property may be from a nest 50 or 100 m away.
