Wasps

Treatments for wasps

• one visit
• injecting dust into the nest usually in lofts or outside under the eaves
• an advice sheet with information about the insecticide used, where it was placed and any special precautions
• taking measures to protect children and pets
• the nest will be dead one or two days after the treatment

Please ensure an adult is present at all times during the treatment. 

Useful facts

• no need to remove a dead or dormant nest, as wasps will not return to the same nest.
• during the bee season in May and June, you should take particular care to ensure that you correctly identify whether you have bees or wasps. If you book a wasp treatment and our pest controller discovers that you have bees, the law does not allow us to undertake a treatment.
• wasps never return to last year’s nest – almost all nests discovered in early spring (March and early April) are dormant nests from a previous summer. You can often avoid unnecessary expense in early spring by only booking a service if you see wasps using the nest. If not, it is almost certainly a dormant nest from a previous year.
