Wasps
Wasp Control Services
Wasps are easily recognised by their yellow and black stripes and distinctive paper-like nests, often found in lofts, roof spaces, porches, and trees. Their colonies grow rapidly, with every wasp in the nest originating from a single queen.
While a single sting can be painful, disturbing a nest can trigger an aggressive colony-wide attack, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Only trained professionals should ever attempt to remove a wasp nest.
The Life Cycle of Wasps
- Spring: The queen emerges and builds a small nest from chewed wood fibres.
- Summer: Eggs hatch into worker and soldier wasps who expand the nest rapidly.
- Late Summer: The nest reaches full size and becomes highly active and aggressive.
What to Look For
Common signs of wasps:
- Visible nests: Usually in lofts, under eaves, or in trees.
- Wasp activity: Wasps flying in and out of a single spot repeatedly.
- Indoor sightings: Dead or live wasps found inside your home or business.
