Questions & answers about wasp nests

Ian asked:

I was working in the garden next to the house when I disturbed a solitary insect which I assume to be a wasp/bee. It was very quick and reacted very aggressively whenever I went close. The following day, and I do not exaggerate, but was stung and then harrassed by this insect which actually followed me some 6 or so yards to may back door and then followed inside. I think it came out of the brickwork, but cannot be certain. Any clues

Paul Sweet replied:

Hi Ian, not much to go on there. Could be many different things. Probably a bumble bee.

Ian replied:

I never saw it, too small and quick. I can rule out the normal bees and wasps,

Deborah asked:

We have spotted what appears to be about 15-20 bees gathering in & around our bedroom window and tiles. We can\'t get a close enough look to see if the are the masonry bees mentioned on you website. They seem to have appeared from no where.

Paul Sweet replied:

Its either mason bees or bumblebees. Bumble bees are black and very fluffy. If it is mason bees, they will disappear in the next couple of weeks anyway. In either case, I would advise that you leave them alone; they will return the favour.

Paul Sweet replied:

Hi Lyn, if they are quite loud and buzzing, it will be Bumble Bees. Are they black and fluffy? Take a look at the photos on our how to identify wasps page and then compare to what you can see flying outside.

Our fee for treating a Wasp or Hornet nest is a straight forward £65.00. This cost includes all the expenses associated with the treatment, such as callouts, climbing ladders, working in lofts, and any essential treatments. There are no hidden costs, and we want to ensure that you know exactly what you will be paying for our services.

If you've discovered additional nests on your property, we can treat them during the same visit for an extra £15.00 per nest. This offer is only applicable if treated at the time of the original callout. So, if you have multiple nests on your property, call us, and we can discuss a fixed price to handle all the nests in a single visit.

We are certified and fully insured professionals, and all our work comes with a guarantee. Payment is due upon completing the job, and please note that we do not accept bank transfers. Additionally, no value-added tax (VAT) is applied to our charges.

Please ensure that you have correctly identified the species of flying insect causing concern before contacting us. If you are not certain, you can send us a clear photo, and we will be happy to assist in identifying the issue. Alternatively, you can call us, and we will discuss the problem and provide advice.

We strongly advise against using proprietary products you may have purchased to treat the nest, as this action can often lead to disastrous consequences. If you decide to embark upon this often hazardous endeavor, please do not call us to sort out the frequently dangerous aftermath.

Please do not contact us for any issues related to bees, as we do not provide treatment for any bee species.

When you book our services, we will assign you an approximate morning or afternoon time slot. We promise to be there as scheduled and kindly request that you be present at home to ensure a smooth process.

For safety reasons, we recommend keeping children and pets indoors and closing windows and doors during and for several hours after treatment. Please keep in mind that we work weekends, so if you discover a nest in your garden during the weekend (Saturday or Sunday), give us a call, and we will make every effort to respond to your situation as soon as possible.
