Wasps are sociable insects that can live in vast colonies by SW19 Pest Control Wimbledon, London.

Wasps are sociable insects that can live in vast colonies of up to 10,000 workers that can build nests in trees, buildings, compost heaps, sheds, and holes in the ground.

Queen wasps hibernate in the winter before emerging in the spring to build nests and lay eggs.

The workers in the colony will later take over the nest building duties and collect food for the growing Larvae in to the spring and summer months.

Wasps are voracious predators and they control plant pests such as caterpillars and aphids.

Without wasps many of the pests of our natural food crops would not have many natural predators, these pests would eat most of the food crops before we were able to harvest the crops to eat on our plates.

In the UK the wasps that you are most likely to come across are German Wasps 

( Vespula Germanica ) and ( Vespula Vulgaris ), both species are yellow and black stripped.

Both species have painfull stings that can cause allergic reactions.

To get rid of wasps you do not need to remove the nest but instead the nest needs to be treated.

To keep yourself and your family safe from being stung you should always call a professional pest control company such as us at SW19 Pest Control Ltd.

We have access to a range of professional use only insecticides that the general public can not buy and specialist equipment to administer this.

We would apply insecticide either directly in to the nest or near the entrance to the nest. The wasps then bring the chemical in to the nest. After approximately 24 hours the wasps will die from the pesticide and the nest will be dormant.

Wasps do not re-use a treated nest, so the nest does not have to be removed.

If you want the wasp nest removed and we can actually physically access the nest, then we can arrange to come back after a few days after we have treated it and remove the nest. This would involve more cost to you as it’s another visit from us.

If you have a wasp problem in your property then contact us now to arrange for one of our qualified technicians to visit your property and treat the nest for you.
