Do you have a wasp nest?

Wasp nests grow rapidly through the summer and a mature nest can hold thousands of wasps. Signs of a nest near your home include:

A steady stream of wasps flying in and out of one spot
Wasps coming from a gap in the eaves, roof tiles, air bricks or soffits
A papery, grey nest in the loft, shed, garage or a hedge
Lots of wasps indoors, often around windows
Chewing or rustling sounds from a wall or ceiling void

Please do not try to block the entrance or knock a nest down yourself. Disturbed wasps can become aggressive and stings can cause serious allergic reactions.

FAQs

Wasp nest FAQs

When is wasp season in North Yorkshire?

Queens start building nests in spring and nests are at their biggest and most active from July to September. Treating a nest early, while it is still small, is usually quicker and easier.

How long after treatment do the wasps go?

Activity usually drops significantly within a few hours and the nest normally dies off within a day or two. You may still see a few wasps returning during that time.

Do you need to remove the nest?

In most cases the nest does not need to be physically removed once it has been treated, as old nests are not reused. If removal is needed, we can advise.

Is that a wasp or a bee?

If you are not sure, send us a description or photo when you call. Bees are treated differently, and we always identify the insect before any treatment.
