Controlling Wasps in Yorkshire, UK

Certain insects and vermin start to emerge from their winter hibernation as the chill in the air starts to melt. Bees and wasps will start to emerge among the other insects.

In safe places like wall cavities, roofs, tree trunks, gardens, eaves, and attics, queen wasps emerge in the spring and start to construct their nests. If allowed to proliferate, these nests can soon turn into a full-blown wasp infestation.

Wasps, in contrast to most bees, will defend their colonies fiercely, frequently attacking possible intruders in a swarm. The combination of their safety in numbers and multiple wasp stings can be a serious threat. For this reason, it's best to take precautions and get rid of a wasp colony before it becomes a serious wasp issue.

 

 

What are wasps?

Wasps are members of the Hymenoptera insect family, which is also home to yellow jackets and hornets. Additionally included in the Hymenoptera group are ants, bees, and sawflies.

Although there are many other kinds of wasps, the gregarious Vespidae family is the one that should worry people. Wasps belonging to the family Vespidae have comparatively big bodies with three separate parts. Their bodies are striped in either brown or black and yellow.

In the UK, the two most prevalent wasp species that are most likely to be discovered building their nests on your property are the:

• • Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris)
  • German Wasp (Vespula germanica).

Although it can nest in buildings as well, the bigger Hornet (Vespa crabro) is more prevalent in warmer, more southern areas.

A single queen wasp and up to 5000 worker wasps, who are fiercely protective of their nest and wasp queen, often make up the nest. Even though a nest often begins as small as a golf ball in the early spring, its population reaches its peak in the latter summer months. Because of this, it is usually preferable to get rid of a wasps nest threat as soon as the season begins, before it has an opportunity to grow.

 

 

Finding out whether you have a wasp infestation

While it's not unusual to observe a wasp or two in the spring and summer, how can you determine whether they have a nest anywhere in your house or place of business?

It's not always the case that a nest you see is active. This is due to the fact that nests often only remain in use for a single season before being closed for the winter.

Nevertheless, it's wise to proceed cautiously while approaching any possible nest.

Wasp nests frequently have the form of a paper-thin, brown mound with a single hole, resembling a thin, papier-mache-like substance. Wasp nests are located in places that are open to the exterior but shielded from the weather.

Nests are frequently located in garden sheds, garages, bird boxes, wall cavities, and roof spaces. It's very likely that a nest is active if any live wasps are spotted next to it.

In situations when the actual nest may be concealed within a wall or structure, search for a location with an unusually high wasp population. There probably is a nest nearby if you regularly observe wasps in a certain area.

It is preferable to get a qualified pest controller to look into any suspicions you may have about a wasp nest in your house or property.

An expert from Apex Pest Control who is certified by the British Pest Control Association can safely assess the degree of the infestation and assist you in creating a strategy to get rid of wasp issues.

 

 

Take Care of the Wasp Nest Right Away

As was previously noted, wasp queens start constructing their nests as soon as spring arrives. They will swiftly develop their nest as the months get warmer. In the height of summer, a relatively modest nest can grow into a big problem. You'll avoid a lot of headaches later on if you solve the issue at the outset.

 

 

Reasons to Choose Expert Wasp Removal Services

Although there is a tonne of information available online for DIY wasp eradication, we strongly advise leaving this frequently hazardous task to the local wasp management experts. Wasps can be extremely aggressive, in contrast to some other stinging insects like honeybees.

Wasps typically rely on the strength of numbers to protect their territory when their nest is assaulted, stinging and attacking simultaneously. This can be a very dangerous situation for anyone who has even a slight allergy to wasp stings, and it could even result in death in certain situations!

A competent wasp exterminator and removal service, such as the staff at Apex, will arrive prepared with the necessary safety gear, professional pest control solutions, and the know-how to manoeuvre in confined places to do the task swiftly and effectively.
