Wasps and Bees

The presence of wasps or hornets around your property can cause distress due to their numbers and hostile tendencies. Wasp stings can be dangerous, so if you have a wasp infestation, it is important to call in professionals. Young children, in particular, can be suspectable to becoming ill with wasp stings and the effects will vary from person to person. Wasps prefer dry and sealed locations, so their nests are often found in locations that can be hard to access such as lofts, wall cavities, chimney pots, bushes, and sheds.

Wasp is a term used to cover a whole range of species, including the hornet. There are over 9000 species in the UK alone and the most common species are German wasps, Common wasps, Red wasps, Norwegian wasps, Saxon wasps, and Median wasps. They appear from any time in the spring and remain active throughout the summer. Larger nests can contain several thousand wasps. If your nest is inside cavity walls, you might hear loud buzzing sounds.

Our wasp technicians will be able to provide a survey and assess the best way to get rid of them, dependent on the location and size of the nest. We use different treatments to neutralise and get rid of the wasps quickly in a matter of hours. We have a range of quality and cutting-edge tools at our disposal, so we will always use the most effective removal methods.
