Wasp Control
Fast, safe treatment of wasp nests to stop activity around your property.
Wasps become noticeable when they build nests near homes and gardens. Key signs include:
High Activity: Wasps flying in and out of a single point in walls, roofs, or sheds.
Visible Nest: A papery structure ranging from golf ball to football size.
Buzzing Noises: Loud buzzing in lofts or cavities.
Aggression: Increased stings or defensive behaviour near a hidden nest.
Our Approach
When it comes to wasp control, we start by identifying the flight paths and determining if there’s a visible nest on your property. If we find a nest, we can treat and often remove it. However, sometimes wasps are simply foraging and there may not be a nest on-site. In those cases, we’ll determine whether the wasps are just passing through and advise you accordingly. For confirmed nests, we apply targeted insecticide treatments to control the activity effectively. If the wasps persist beyond the first week, we provide a free follow-up visit to ensure your space remains wasp-free.
Nests can often be controlled through targeted insecticidal treatment applied directly to the nest, typically located in lofts, wall cavities, trees, or underground.
Infestations can become hazardous as wasps are territorial and may sting when disturbed. Nests can grow rapidly during warmer months, leading to increased activity around homes and outdoor areas.
In these circumstances, a professional treatment approach is required to ensure safe and effective control, including nest treatment and follow-up if activity persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to treat a wasp nest myself?
No — wasps can be aggressive and stings are dangerous. Professional treatment is always the safest option.
How quickly does the treatment work?
The treatment usually neutralises the nest within 24 hours. Activity drops off quickly after application.
Will the nest be removed?
No — we treat the nest in place. Once neutralised, wasps will not return to it, and it will naturally degrade over time. If activity remains after a week, we provide a free follow-up visit.
