Wasps

If you have issues with wasps, never try to tackle a wasp or hornet nest yourself. These insects are very territorial and defensive. If disturbed or threatened, they release a pheromone that acts as an emergency beacon and instantly summons the whole swarm.

The Pest Specialist offers a fast, safe and environmentally friendly solution for wasp nest removal and treatment.

When you call us, a specialist will arrive at your home or business. They’ll do a full inspection, assess the threat and determine the best and most effective way to treat or safely remove the nest.

For businesses, especially in hospitality like pubs and restaurants, ignoring a wasp problem is a reputation and financial disaster that drives customers away.

Our certified technicians provide rapid, discreet and effective care, protecting your family, customers and property. We cover complete care, including inspection, prevention, and treatments safe for children and animals.

Wasp Control

The presence of wasps and hornets near your property causes immediate stress and danger due to their aggressive behaviour and large numbers. Given the risk of stings, professional help is the only way to deal with an infestation.

Wasps seek dry, protected areas and build their massive nests in lofts, wall voids, sheds or chimney stacks. We have many species in the UK, including the aggressive hornet and common wasps, German wasps and Norwegian wasps. They are active from spring to summer, and large, mature nests can house thousands of wasps. A loud, continuous buzzing noise inside your cavity walls is a sure sign of a big problem hidden from sight.

At The Pest Specialist, our experienced technicians will conduct a thorough survey. This allows us to assess the risk and develop a removal or treatment plan tailored to the size and location of the nest.

Our Process

SURVEY

Our technician will inspect your residential or commercial property, including all the hard-to-get-to areas, to identify the species and severity of the infestation. This is the key to choosing the most effective and quickest solution.

TREATMENT

Your technician will then create a plan to sort out the wasp or hornet problem that’s causing you stress. All work is done safely and professionally, using non-lethal and less invasive methods first before applying full treatment.

AFTERCARE

You will receive a full report of the survey findings and work carried out. This will also include practical advice on how to proof your property to prevent future wasp activity. We are available to answer any questions you may have after the treatment is complete.

FAQs

Can you help me prevent future infestations?

Yes. Our technicians will give you preventive advice. This includes practical tips on how to seal up vulnerable entry points like open eaves or ventilation gaps so a new queen can’t build a new nest near your home next season.

Why do I need professional wasp nest removal?

Never try to remove a wasp nest yourself. These insects can attack aggressively and sting multiple times if the nest is disturbed. This can cause severe allergic reactions or even life-threatening situations. Hiring a professional is the only way to handle this risk.

What happens immediately after treatment?

After our treatment is applied, the nest area will be hyperactive for a few hours as the colony reacts. It’s essential to keep all people and pets away from the area until all activity has stopped and you can confirm the professional treatment has killed the colony.

Will your technicians physically remove the nest?

Our goal is to quickly and safely neutralise the colony using professional treatments. We usually leave the nest in place because wasps won’t reuse the dead structure, and leaving it there prevents the foragers from returning and rebuilding in the same spot.

How is the wasp or hornet nest found?

Our pest technicians do a thorough property inspection. They look for wasp traffic and visually track the wasps back to the nest. They identify specific entry and exit holes and listen for the distinct buzzing sound coming from hidden areas like lofts or wall voids.
