When the presence of a nest has been identified, the task of removing it safely should be handed to a professional hornet and wasp control operative.

Identifying a nesting problem

 As previously mentioned, strange noises or increased wasps around a property indicate a nearby wasp nest. Common locations for a nest can include:

  • Wall cavities
  • Roofs
  • Lofts
  • Eaves
  • Air vents
  • Sheds
  • Garages
  • Trees 
  • Bushes
  • Bird nesting boxes

 A nest will be constructed of a material that resembles paper. It may be as small as a snooker ball in the early stages but can be the size of an inflated beach ball when completed.

What are the differences between wasps and hornets?

 Although similar in size and shape, wasps are identified by having yellow and black stripes. Hornets will have brown and black markings. In the United Kingdom, hornets (Vespa crabro) are pretty rare, being found primarily in areas to the country's south. Two strains of wasp can be found throughout the UK. These are Vespula vulgaris or common wasp and Vespula Germanica or the German wasp. Wasps and hornets are not to be confused with bees as the bee will provide a helpful service by pollinating plants. British agriculture depends on bees to pollinate around 30% of the food crops produced. 

Taking precautions against wasp and hornet infestation

 Several tasks can be undertaken during the early springtime, which will help avoid the development of a wasp or hornet nest close to the property. As the weather warms up, it would be wise to move waste bins away from the inhabited part of the house to exclude an attractive food source for the wasps.

This is especially important in a property where children or older adults present as a wasp or hornet sting can deliver severe pain to those who are stung.
