It is easy to put off dealing with a wasp nest, especially when it is small or tucked away. But nests grow, and the longer they are left, the more wasps there are to defend them. Here's why wasp removal deserves a place at the top of your to-do list.
Nests Grow Quickly
A nest that starts as a handful of cells in spring can become a large colony by late summer. Larger nests hold more wasps, which means more activity around your home and more wasps ready to defend the nest if it is disturbed.
Nests Near People Cause Problems
Wasps often nest close to doors, windows, clotheslines, letterboxes, barbecues and play equipment. Every trip past the nest is a chance of a sting, and children and pets don't know to keep clear.
Nests Inside Buildings Can Cause Damage
Wasps nesting in roof voids and wall cavities can stain ceilings and walls, and their chewing can affect plasterboard and timber. Buzzing inside a wall is also unsettling for anyone living there.
Businesses Have More to Lose
For a cafe, restaurant, school, childcare centre or hotel, wasps around outdoor areas affect customers and staff. Prompt removal helps keep outdoor spaces usable and welcoming.
DIY Attempts Can Make Things Worse
Knocking a nest, blocking an entrance or spraying from a ladder can leave wasps defensive and put you at risk of a fall. A removal team identifies the wasp, treats the nest at the source and removes it with the right equipment.
