How to know if you have a wasp nest
- Wasps are bright yellow with black stripes
- The nest is not usually visible. Nests are usually found in lofts, trees, sheds or garages, often close to a good food source
- Look at holes in brickwork, fascia or soffit board. Wasps will use a single hole to enter (unlike mortar bees which will investigate several)
- Look out to see if there is constant activity of wasps arriving and disappearing into your property
Please go to the British Beekeepers Association site for help with knowing if you have a bee, wasp or hornets nest
What to expect from a visit
We will confirm that the nest is a wasp nest by observing the appearance of the pests and observing behaviour. Treatment will depend on the accessibility of the nest, and officers are able to reach approximately 18 feet. An information advice sheet will be given detailing the method used.
After treatment. We advise that you stay away from the treated nest for 4 hours until you see no further activity. If on the rare occasion there is still activity around the nest after 24 hours, we will return to retreat.
How to prevent an infestation
- Keep your home clean, especially the kitchen. Cockroaches are attracted to grease and water
- Empty bins regularly and keep rubbish far away
- Prevent cockroaches from coming up drains by pouring bleach
- Seal cracks on exterior and interior walls
- Move logs and wood away from your house. Cockroaches live in wood and will migrate inside buildings keep warm
What to expect from a visit
We will monitor the infestation to identify the pest. We will then use a gel based treatment, placing it near the infestation sites.
Following treatment, we will give you an information advice sheet and contact details. You will then need to arrange a follow up visit so that the treatment can be removed.
How to prevent an infestation
- Seal around windows and other entry points
- Check roofs, as they are known as 'attic flies' and often settle in roof voids
Cluster flies are not an indication of poor hygiene. They are simply seeking a suitably warm place to hibernate.
What to expect from a visit
Before we visit you should cover any water tanks. We will inspect the roof space if it safe to do so and will use a ULV fog generator to eradicate any residing cluster flies. You will be advised, not to go into the loft space for at least an hour after treatment.
Following treatment, we will give you and information advice sheet providing details of the method used and contact information.
