WASP CONTROL

​

Wasps can be active from March until November if the weather is warm enough. Wasps begin building their nests in the spring. They will build their nests in buildings, underground and in trees and bushes and they can be aggressive when defending their nest.

​

BEFORE TREATMENT

 

We can only treat the wasps if you are able to locate the nest. It is not possible to treat individual wasps. Once the nest is located we need as much information as possible so that we can access and treat the nest. A call out fee will be charged if we attend but are not able to access the nest. If we find the nest is actually bees then no treatment will take place.

 

TREATMENT

 

The wasp nest will be treated with an insecticide dust. Direct application of the dust into the nest or into the nest entry points will be the most successful way of eliminating the wasps. The treatment will not work instantly and can take up to seven days before the nest will be destroyed.

 

AFTER TREATMENT

 

Immediately after the treatment the wasps will be very angry. You will need to stay away from the nest for at least the first three days after treatment. If after seven days the nest is still active we will return and treat it again free of charge. We can remove the paper nest if access is possible but this can only be done after seven days and will incur an extra charge.
