Questions answered about wasps - Page:18

How do you identify a bumble bee nest?

It can be challenging to distinguish between bees and wasps in the spring.
Bumblebees will have 10-15 flying around in circles around the nest entrance.

Honey bees will have hundreds of them; if nesting, they will bring pollen (yellow balls on the side of the bees) into the nest.

Wasps arrive and disappear into the nest without hesitation. They leave the nest and fly away quickly.

Look at the videos on our homepage and compare what you have with what you can see in the videos.

Why are wasps taking polystyrene from my cavity wall?

Wasps regularly remove cavity wall insulation. They do this to make space so they can expand the size of their nest.

Can a wasp sting cause inflammation of heart and lungs?

If you or a family member (especially older) are stung by a wasp or hornet and feel unwell afterwards, do not delay, seek professional medical attention immediately.
This applies to several weeks after being stung. Tell your doctor that you have been stung.

Can I blow a wasp nest up with a firework?

We have no sensible answer for you.

Do wasps hibernate in August?

A wasp nest in August will be very much alive and kicking and at its peak.

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.
