Get Rid of Wasps for Good: Your Simple Guide to Wasp Nest Removal

There’s nothing better than relaxing in your garden on a sunny day—until wasps come. These stinging bugs can spoil your fun quickly, especially if there is a nest close by. Wasps can be mean, and their stings hurt and can be risky. That’s where Shire Pest and Property Care helps. With many years of experience in pest control services, we know how to remove wasp nests safely and easily.

In the following article, we will detail how to identify a wasp nest, why we don't recommend you attempt to take it down yourself, and how we can assist with speedy and safe wasp nest removal.

Why are wasps a problem?

Not only are wasps pesky, but they are dangerous as well. Unlike bees, who sting and fly away, wasps will sting repeatedly and get very irritable if threatened in their home. Some individuals are highly allergic to wasps' stings.

Wasps tend to nest in hidden areas like roof spaces, beneath the eaves, in sheds, lofts, or underground. The nests expand in size throughout summer and can have thousands of wasps. It is due to this reason that it is recommendable to address the problem early.

How to Locate a Wasp Nest

If you've noticed wasps going in and out of the same location repeatedly—such as a hole in a wall, a hole in the roof, or by your shed—there may be a nest nearby.

Following are some warning signs to observe:

Wasps are flying at the same location.
Buzzing sounds in walls, ceilings, or sheds.
A grey, paper-like, rounded nest
Wasps come and go via minute holes or vents.

If you notice any of them, stay away and contact us. Approaching a wasp nest too close can be extremely dangerous.

Why Not to Do It Yourself

We know that most people would prefer to deal with the issue themselves. Dislodging a nest, though, is not safe to try to do without tools or experience. Wasps can sting rapidly if they feel they are threatened.

Pre-made sprays may be effective for a brief period, but they usually don't cover the entire nest. The safest option is to let our trained team handle the wasp nest removal properly.

At Shire Pest and Property Care, we wear the proper safety gear and use the best equipment to get the job done effectively and safely. And yes—we are also fully insured too.

How to Take Down a Wasp Nest (If You Really Want to Try)

We prefer to say it's more convenient to leave it to the experts. But if you insist on doing it yourself, please be careful:

Wait until dark, when wasps are not so active
Wear clothing that covers your body fully.
Use a long-range wasp spray
Don't go near the nest after spraying. Wait for at least one day.
Be ready to vacate in a hurry if the wasps show up.

But the best solution is to employ professional pest control services like ours.

How to Keep Wasps from Returning

After the nest is demolished, you must keep wasps from rebuilding it. Here's how:

Seal small cracks and openings in your house.
Cover chimneys and vents with mesh.

Regular check-ups with a pest control professional.
