Wasps are easily recognised by most people in the U.K. They are considerably smaller than the bee, they have yellow and black bands on their bodies and two pairs of wings. At the start of spring the wasps will start to construct their nests and by September time the nests will be at their maximum size and by then the nest may contain up to 10,000 workers. Wasp nests can be found in many places, trees, garages, sheds, lofts, and holes in the ground.
These pests are a nuisance to humans during the late summer, as the weather becomes cooler the wasps are more likely to sting. A wasp sting is not considered serious but it is painful and in some cases can cause a reaction. Unlike bees, wasps can sting many times.
It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to dispose of the nest yourself as when the wasps nest is threatened they will become aggressive which will result in multiple stings.
Treatment is normally performed from the outside whereby the wasps will be aggitated for a few hours and permenently eradicated within 24 hours. We can also dispose of the nest two days after the initial treatment if required.
So we recommend that you seek professional help from M Pest Control Kent.
