Wasp Nest Removal: What you need to know...

A bustling wasp nest hangs under the eaves, with several wasps actively tending to their intricate home.

Ah, wasps. The uninvited guests of summer. One minute you’re enjoying a peaceful pint in the garden, the next you’re being dive-bombed by an angry flying menace with a chip on its shoulder and a stinger full of vengeance.

If you’ve discovered a wasp nest on your property, congratulations — you now live in a shared ownership scheme with potentially several thousand wasps. Time to call in the pros for wasp nest removal.

“It’s Just One or Two Wasps, Isn’t It?”

Oh, how we wish. Wasps can creep up on you — if you’ve seen one, the rest aren’t far behind. A typical nest can house up to 10,000 wasps by late summer. That’s not a typo. Ten. Thousand. You might think that buzzing noise in the wall is the telly on standby, but no — it’s an airborne army preparing to make your house their home.

This is where professional pest control services come in handy.

“Can I Just Get Rid of It Myself?”

Technically, yes. But unless you’ve always dreamed of re-enacting Gladiator in shorts and flip-flops, we wouldn’t recommend it.

We’ve heard it all: bin bags on broom handles, hoovering wasps with the Dyson, one customer even tried a blowtorch (his shed’s now a fond memory). The reality is, wasps don’t take kindly to DIY methods, you may stop the initial few but shop bought insecticides aren’t as strong as the professional grade. You need a professional wasp exterminator who knows what they’re doing — and preferably one with full body armour :)

Signs You’ve Got a Wasp Nest

• A constant stream of wasps coming and going from the same hole/area (usually around roof tiles, wall cavities, or sheds)

• A loud, angry buzz that sounds constant

• An open window leads to multiple unwanted visitors

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re probably due for professional wasp nest treatment.
