Wasp Pest Control

Wasps, bees and hornets are often confused but there are key differences between these three stinging insects and the treatment for each will differ. Some bee species are endangered so the rules on treating or removing a bees nest are different to wasps.

Attempting to remove a wasp nest yourself can be incredibly dangerous. Wasps will defend their home and can become aggressive if they feel threatened.

Wasps will usually only attack a human under what they perceive as threatening circumstances, but a wasp sting contains a pheromone that will alert other nearby wasps to their distress and could result in a much larger wasp attack. Behaviours such as swatting at a wasp or attempting to hit or knock a wasp nest down will almost certainly be seen as a threat and lead to a painful sting.
