Wasp problem in your home or business? Call the Pest Professionals

Pest Doctor North West can control and eliminate wasps, or a wasp nest problem in domestic or commercial environments

Wasps can be a pest problem during summer when the weather is warmer and they're more active. Wasp Queens hibernate during winter, emerging in spring to begin building a nest. In autumn, as food becomes scarce within the nest, wasps can by on the hunt for other food sources - like your pint in the beer garden or a soft drink.

Wasps are seasonal pest insects. Queen Wasps can emerge as early as March, though this can be very weather dependant. In June we see a much more pronounced level of activity as the nest grows. Wasps can stay active all through the summer months with late summer seeing the Queen laying new ‘Queen’ eggs. These, when fully developed, will fly the nest and hibernate over Winter until spring when the cycle starts again. Meantime, the ‘old’ Queen once she has ‘fulfilled her duties’ will die along with the nest. Which can be late autumn.

Wasps are one of the most common pests to be seen bothering the Warrington area through the long summer days. They can settle on your property in a wide variety of either cramped or open spaces, both inside and outside.

Wasps come in many diverse types – nesting under eaves, in attics, in retaining walls and even in the ground. Wasp colonies can become large with time and pose a threat to your property and family.

For instance, if wasps invade your attic, they might go through the drywall and eventually swarm your home. And that’s where we come in – to ensure a swift treatment and extermination of the wasps, and to protect both your family and home from future invasions.

Most wasp species are social and live in colonies, in contrast to the solitary ones. With the social category, the colony has female workers that do everything around the nest. They are aggressive and will sting anyone who threatens their nest. But unlike bees, wasps can sting many times in a row. So, be careful.

It is imperative that you deal with these insects with a sense of haste. Leaving a nest for too long before you deal with it can have disastrous consequences, including structural damage to your property and increased risk of stings.

Checking for wasps

A useful check to carry out in summer is to wait for a hot, sunny day in mid-July and walk all around your house looking up and down, in air-bricks and chimneys etc and if you have a wasp’s nest you will clearly see wasps coming and going at an alarming rate. Ring us then before the queens emerge in mid-September and you will break the breeding cycle.
