Know your enemy

The types of wasp found in the UK are generally the types known as Vespula vulgaris and German Wasps known as Vespula germanica.

Some people can also suffer an allergic reaction to a wasp sting that may be potentially life-threatening. Consequently, it is necessary to get rid of wasp nest problems as soon as they are identified.
