Why Wasps Are a Problem
Wasps are most active between May and September. They build nests in sheltered areas such as lofts, eaves, sheds, wall cavities, chimneys, and even underground spaces like disused burrows. At the height of summer, a single nest can house thousands of wasps.
While wasps do play a role in the ecosystem, their presence near humans can be dangerous. They are highly territorial and will aggressively defend their nest if disturbed. Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, and their stings can cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals.
Signs of a wasp nest include:
- A constant stream of wasps entering and exiting a hole or crevice
- A humming or buzzing sound coming from walls, roofs or trees
- Increased wasp activity around your home or garden, especially near food and drink
If you suspect you have a nest nearby, it’s essential to act quickly—but also wisely!
Do Not Attempt to Remove a Nest Yourself
Treating a wasp nest without the proper training or equipment is extremely dangerous. Wasps will attack in large numbers if they feel threatened. DIY sprays and traps may agitate the colony without solving the root problem, and improperly treated nests can remain active or lead to secondary nests being established elsewhere on your property.
Attempting to remove a nest on your own risks:
- Multiple stings, which can lead to hospitalisation in extreme cases
- Damage to your property or garden structures
- Incomplete removal, leading to re-infestation
Professional help ensures that the nest is dealt with safely, effectively, and in accordance with best practice.
