Being stung by a wasp can be very painful, for some it can be life - threatening if you are allergic to stings.
Wasps are often mistaken for bees and are also confused with other stinging insects. Wasps are most active in the summer months.
In the U.K., the common wasp and German Wasp cause the most annoyance and painful stings.
If you have noticed a wasp infestation please contact PEST HUNTERZ, our professional technicians have the experience and correct protective clothing to deal with the wasp infestation.
Warning: Do not attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself, this can be highly dangerous and is not recommended. Disturbing a nest can provoke a swarm, leading to painful stings and potential medical emergencies.
If you see a large number of wasps around your home you may be dealing with a wasps nest.
Wasps can build their nests outdoors under sheltered eaves, under trees and bushes, if they gain access inside your home, they will find shelter in areas such as:
Roof spaces
Attics and lofts
Wall cavities
Internal garages
Physical characteristics: Common wasps typically have black and yellow stripes on their abdomen, with distinctive markings that vary slightly between individuals.
Nesting Habits: They often build their nests underground, in wall cavities or in roof spaces. These nests can grow quite large, housing thousands of wasps.
