Wasps and hornets
Taking the sting out of wasp and hornet control
Have you noticed an increase in wasp or hornet activity around your property? Are you concerned that there may be a nest nearby?
Where nests are found
Nests are not always easy to locate
Wasps and hornets are a common problem during the warmer months, often becoming more noticeable as nests grow and activity increases.
What may begin as occasional sightings can quickly develop into a more serious situation, particularly if a nest is located close to your home or place of work.
Nests are often found in loft spaces, wall cavities, sheds, trees or even below ground. In many cases, the first sign is a steady flow of insects entering and leaving a particular area.

Please do not try to deal with a nest yourself
Wasps can become aggressive if they feel their nest is under threat, which is why attempting to deal with the situation yourself is not recommended.
Without the correct equipment and experience, there is a risk of provoking the insects and increasing the likelihood of stings. This can be particularly dangerous, especially for those with allergies.
