Understanding Wasp Problems
Wasps are aggressive stinging insects that can pose serious threats to you and your family, especially during late summer and autumn when they become more territorial and aggressive as food sources become scarce.
Common species in our area include: Common wasps, German wasps, and hornets. These insects build nests in various locations including roof spaces, wall cavities, garden sheds, trees, and underground burrows.
Signs of wasp activity: Increased wasp sightings around your property, wasps entering and leaving a specific area repeatedly, visible nest structures, chewed wood pulp materials, and aggressive wasp behavior near food or drinks.
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times and their stings are particularly painful and potentially dangerous for those with allergies. A single nest can house thousands of wasps, making professional removal essential for safety.
Attempting DIY wasp nest removal is extremely dangerous and often unsuccessful. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive swarming behavior, putting you at risk of multiple stings. Our trained professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to safely eliminate wasp nests and prevent them from returning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a wasp nest problem?
We understand that wasp nests require urgent attention for safety reasons. We typically respond within 24 hours of your call, with same-day service available for emergency situations, especially when nests are in high-traffic areas or when allergic reactions are a concern.
What methods do you use to remove wasp nests?
We use professional-grade insecticides specifically designed for wasp control, applied using specialized equipment that allows safe treatment from a distance. Our technicians wear full protective gear and use techniques that ensure complete nest elimination while minimizing risk to residents and pets.
How do you prevent wasps from building new nests?
After nest removal, we provide advice on prevention including sealing potential nesting sites, removing attractants like fallen fruit, and applying residual treatments to areas where nests commonly occur. We also offer follow-up inspections during peak wasp season.
Is wasp nest removal safe around children and pets?
Safety is our top priority. We use targeted treatments that are highly effective against wasps while minimizing exposure to family members and pets. We provide clear safety instructions and ensure the area is secure before, during, and after treatment.
How long does wasp nest removal take?
Most wasp nest treatments can be completed within 30-60 minutes, depending on nest location and size. The nest typically becomes inactive within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding the area for several days to ensure complete elimination of returning wasps.
What's included in your wasp removal guarantee?
Our guarantee covers complete nest elimination. If wasp activity continues from the same nest location after treatment, we'll return to re-treat at no additional cost. We stand behind our work and ensure your property is safe from wasp threats.
Do you remove the physical nest structure?
In most cases, the nest structure can be left in place as it will not be reused. However, if the nest is easily accessible and removal is requested, we can safely remove it after treatment. Nests in visible locations are typically removed for aesthetic reasons.
What should I do if I discover a wasp nest?
Do not attempt to remove or disturb the nest yourself. Keep children and pets away from the area, avoid wearing bright colors or strong perfumes near the nest, and contact us immediately. If wasps become aggressive, move away slowly and seek shelter indoors.
