The Importance Of Professional Wasp Nest Removal
If you find a wasp nest on your property, you need to have the nest removed quickly. Wasps never use the same nest site more than once, so if a wasp colony decides to make your house their home, they can build several large nests in the same area.
Other insects, such as bees, hornets or even bed bugs or ants, can make the old nests their homes, so you might end up with multiple infestations.
Wasp nests start at around the size of a golf ball, but they can grow to the size of a basketball or even bigger, and a large wasp nest can be home to a lot of wasps.
Wasps have painful stings, and they can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals, so you need to be careful when dealing with wasps.
Often, wasps build nests in confined spaces, such as sheds, chimneys, attics or even inside wall cavities.
For nests in tight spaces, you could cause damage to your property if you remove the nest without the proper equipment and skills.

Signs Of A Wasp Nest On Your Property
Wasps are most active during the warm weather, so you’ll probably notice them from Spring to late Summer. The most common sign of wasp activity is wasp sightings, but other common indicators include:
- Wasp Nest Sightings: Wasp nests look like they’re made from papier-mâché, as they’re made from chewed wood and have a small hole that the wasps use to enter or leave.
- Lines Of Wasps: A line of wasps flying in the same direction regularly could be a clear sign that a wasp nest is nearby.
- Buzzing Sounds: If you hear an insistent buzzing sound from inside wall cavities, your roof or any other tight space around your property, it is a sign of a wasp nest.
If you think you have a wasp infestation, you need professional support. Wasps are often mistaken for bees or hornets, but it’s important that you identify the species before we carry out treatment. Contact us to book your appointment.
