Wasp INFESTATIONs Wales
Wasps
FAQ's
Signs include seeing wasps flying around, nests up in eaves, trees, or under decking, and increased wasp activity in the warmer months. Wasp activity near windows or doors likely indicates a nearby nest.
Wasps build nests in sheltered areas like under roofs, awnings, tree branches, or cavities to protect from weather and predators. Nests are often constructed out of chewed wood fibers.
It is safest to have nests near homes professionally treated at night when wasps are least active. Nests can be knocked down with a pole or sprayed with insecticide.
Seal any holes and caulk cracks in siding after nest removal. Install fine screens on vents, chimneys, and overhangs. Use traps, deterrent sprays, and restrict food sources.
