Wasp Nest Removal Bayford
24 Hour Pest Control
We provide Wasp Nest Removal in Bayford with over 30 years experience in the pest control industry. Our technicians can quickly remove the wasp nest.
With a single wasp nest containing up to 7,000 wasps, when you have a fully matured nest it can become a big problem. Wasps will nest in air vents, lofts, roofs, eaves and under guttering. You will notice lots of wasp traffic entering and exiting from the same place as a sign that there is a wasp nest.
We recommend that you do not approach a nest or attempt to remove it yourself, this should be done by a trained pest controller with the correct equipment. If threatened wasps will sting, these can be very painful and if you are allergic to the sting it can be life threatening.

Our Treatment Programme
Our technician will assess the size and position of the wasp nest and then discuss the recommended removal process with you. We use an insecticidal dust into the entrance of the nest at high pressure which over 24 hours naturally spreads into the nest killing the queen and the rest of the wasps.
When treatments are completed our technician will provide a report including details on what treatments have been used and recommendations to help prevent further wasp nests.
Wasp Facts
In springtime queen wasps emerge from hibernation to start building a nest. As the summer progresses more and more worker wasps hatch and the colony grows. The adult worker wasps have the distinctive black and yellow pattern on their abdomen and are between 15 - 20 mm long.
Wasps are colonial insects living in social groups with many thousand found in an established nest. The worker wasps will feed on nectar, sweet materials and sometimes other insect larvae. Towards the end of the summer the colony develops males with the presumptive queens which when mated over winter start new wasp colonies the following year.
Only female wasps have a sting they can use repeatedly when they feel threatened, on average a worker wasp will live for between 12 - 22 days while a queen can live up to a year.
Problems Caused by Wasps
A wasp sting can be a painful and unpleasant experience but potentially lethal as there is a risk of 'anaphylactic shock' that can occur from just one sting.
Wasps will also visit dustbins and dead animal bodies which can lead to the spread of disease and contamination of food sources.
