Wasps and hornets are the most abundant insects in Britain. People hate these insects, and it’s understandable. However, during summer, you are most likely to come across a wasp or even a swarm of many wasps. Although there are many types of wasps, there are two common species: the German wasp and the Common wasp. The two types have a unique black and yellow striped abdomen, which makes them easy to identify. They are larger than most insects and can be 10-20mm long.

It would help if you immediately got rid of wasp nests found near your home or business. The best way to deal with wasps is by calling a hornet and wasp control team.
