Why choose us to remove wasps nest?
To eradicate a wasp infestation on a DIY basis is a dangerous and unpleasant task, even when using modern wasps nest destroyer sprays.
Therefore, we strongly recommend getting a qualified professional with the correct training, equipment and insurance to kill wasps nests.
Many serious accidents have happened because of amateur or unskilled treatments going wrong.
We have the correct training and appropriate qualifications and equipment to eliminate your wasps. We will carry out essential safety checks
before treating your wasps using the latest techniques and the least hazardous method of treating the nest. Wasp nest removal is possible when the
nest is visible and dead. It will not be used again, and in most cases will not require removal.
If you suspect there are wasps living in your house but cannot find the wasp nest, we can inspect your property with a trained eye. This may be
particularly useful if you are allergic to wasp stings or worried about children getting stung. Finding wasps nests cannot be guaranteed of course, but
an experienced look at your home or workplace may reveal hidden nests. If you have wasps getting into your house we can deal with the problem
quickly and efficiently often by finding out where wasps get in, sealing the hole and treating the wasps nest. Finding dead wasps may also indicate a
nest.
Control nuisance wasps
Here at Nature in Balance, our wasp control services go far beyond just treating problem wasp nests, we can help to stop wasps bothering you. This
is an important element to wasp control, because wasps that are being bothersome are not only far more likely to sting, but will also transmit disease
by walking on our food.
With careful planning and strategic use of modern technology, we can drastically reduce the occurrence of annoying wasp problems. This is not a
case of using a few wasp traps to distract them, indeed, incorrectly used traps will actually make the problem worse.
In line with our chemical-free control methods, control of annoying wasps is environmentally safe.
Please call for more details.
Are they bees or wasps?
Between late March to May, many different bees appear, such as masonry bees. These look very similar to wasps, and although solitary, may
appear in large numbers in one area. If you are unsure, we can identify them correctly. These solitary bees cause no harm and are extremely
beneficial. Take a look at our article on identifying wasps and bees and maybe check our bee page for additional information.
Pesticide-free wasp control.
Our chemical-free wasp nest destruction is becoming more popular. Natural wasp control is the favoured option in compost heaps, near fish ponds
and water tanks, areas where food is stored or prepared, in animal housing, in fact, anywhere where pesticides pose a risk to the environment or
occupiers. If you would prefer the pesticide-free option, please ask and we will advise if it is possible to remove wasps naturally.
Why get rid of wasps?
Wasps are beneficial to our ecosystem, and therefore we will only treat a wasps nest if it is, or is likely to cause a nuisance or safety issue.
Occasionally, wasps and hornets build their nests where they will become a problem when the nest gets bigger and the wasps become aggressive.
Apart from being very painful, a wasp sting can be dangerous and occasionally fatal.
If the wasp's nest is approached or disturbed in any way, the wasps attack, each one capable of inflicting multiple stings.
Hornets cause similar problems but are much less aggressive. They are fairly common in Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex.
One of the main problems with having a hornet nest near your home is their habit of coming indoors in the evening, usually flying around the light.
How are wasps controlled?
Usually, a wasps' nest is treated with insecticide, but in certain circumstances they can be completely removed, or treated naturally with organic and
harmless substances. Wasp nest removal can be arranged once the wasps are gone.
Wasp biology.
Wasps start to appear in late spring. These will be queen wasps that have overwintered with fertilized eggs inside them.
The queen wasp builds a round nest out of chewed wood (pulp) which will be roughly the size of a golf ball. She lays her eggs in the nest and tends
them when they hatch into grubs. The grubs grow and then pupate, emerging as small worker wasps. At this point, the queen wasp stays in the nest
and is tended by the workers while she lays eggs. These worker wasps also start expanding the nest and hunting for caterpillars and aphids which
they feed to the next batch of grubs. The wasp grubs produce a sweet substance which is fed to the worker wasps.
With this cycle replicated time after time, the wasps' nest can become huge and contain many thousands of wasps.
Towards the end of summer, the nest produces male wasps and queens which mate, the queens flying off to overwinter with fertile eggs ready for the
following spring. There are now no grubs in the nest to sustain the workers, so they go in search of sweet substances, as do the now redundant male
wasps. They feed on fallen fruit and may become slow due to the cooler conditions. Aggression levels appear higher at this time.
You can often find a wasps nest in the loft, but wasps will also build a nest in your shed, garage, in a hole in the ground or in a bush.
If you are looking for a wasp nest on your building, you may find them going under tiles, into a window frame, going into air brick, into the soffit board
or brickwork. Look for regular wasp traffic in and out of holes and cavities. The most common problem is wasps going into the eaves.
We have treated wasps nests in hats, in the foam of patio furniture, in water tanks (non toxic removal) and amongst animal feed, to
name but a few!
