Wasp Nest and Hornet Removal

Wasps

Wasps are actually good for the ecosystem, so only treat them when they become a hazard.

Although there are possible home remedies, they are not advised, particularly if the nest is huge or you have allergies. Anaphylaxis can result from wasp stings. Since they have the right insecticide and equipment for spraying deeply into the nests even when they are high up or in difficult-to-reach places, a professional pest control technician should be contacted.

Nests are typically just sprayed, not removed. As foraging wasps return to the nest at the end of the day, it may take a whole nest of wasps a day or two to die off after treatment.

Why use us for wasp control?

• If the wasp nest is agitated, wasps might be lethal.
• We have visited works where wasps caught fire in downlighters, which are spot lights installed in the ceiling or loft.
• Multiply quickly, and gradually start to cause problems later in the season.
• Enter vulnerable areas in the property later in the season for light and warmth.
• Live if the nest is big until January or February.
• If left, queens will hibernate in the roof until the following season.
• If you don’t treat the nests, you will get more every year.

Old and dormant wasp nest removal 

After the treatment has been applied for roughly two weeks, the paper nests should be removed.

Wherever possible, the old nests should be eliminated because they might subsequently provide a problem. We frequently receive inquiries from plumbers, electricians, and other tradespeople who have discovered nests in roof areas and had to postpone work because the nest was dormant or old.

Another fire hazard is an old nest. The nests may catch fire if they are close to downlights or ceiling lights if a hot element is located in the wall or roof cavity. Wasps combine saliva with plant and animal matter to produce a “papery” substance that can be very combustible, particularly when it is old and dry.

Hornets

A professional pest control company should handle the risky task of treating hornet nests safely. Our treatments are completely safe and effective.

At PGH Pest Control Colchester, we provide precisely that, along with a quick response and a guaranteed hornet control service. Even if you can’t detect the hornet nest, we specialise in all techniques of efficient hornet management in all kinds of properties.

We can send you a qualified technician quickly, and they will advise you on the best course of action for dealing with the hornets. We provide a remedy to resolve these problems because we are aware of the stress and problems that wasps cause.

Ask a pest professional to help. Hornets are dangerous and present the following risks:

• Attacks by hornets can be fatal if the colony becomes agitated.
• We’ve been to jobs where hornet nests caught fire inside down lights because the hornets were drawn to the light and perished on the hot downlights.
• Hornets multiply quickly and cause problems later in the season.
• Later in the season, they enter weak spots on the property in search of light and warmth.
• If the nest is large, hornets can live until January or February.
• If nests are abandoned, the queen will hibernate in the roof till the next season.
• If hive nests are not handled, they will continue to grow every year.
