The most common wasp species found in the UK are the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) or the german wasp (Vespula germanica). Over-wintered and fertilized wasp queens wake from hibernation around mid-April and find a suitable colony site to make a nest which is made up of wood fibres. Wasp nest elimination is straightforward at this stage and could be attempted with household products (only 1-10 wasps occupy the nest at the stage). However by the end of the summer the size of the wasp nest can be up to 70 cm across and contain up to 10000 wasps.
Extermination of the wasp nest should be performed by a qualified wasp control technician / exterminator near you. Wasps will eventually succumb to cold whether and starvation, but before this they can behave aggressively and out of control, especially when they consume rotting fruit and when sugary foods are present.

This dust is transmitted onto the body of the worker when wasps traveling in and out of the nest, further contaminating the inside of the nest with insecticide. Other worker wasps and the queen will all die within 24 hours. Physical wasp nest removal is really not necessary as the empty remaining paper nest is never re-used as queens always build nests from scratch. However we can return at a later date to remove vacant wasp nests at an additional cost.
It is not recommended to remove wasps nests yourself, but to call a local professional pest control company like ours. Household wasp sprays contain pyrethrins, which irritates wasps and makes them very aggressive.

It is imperative to use appropriate personal protective equipment when approaching a wasp nest or perform treatment of a wasp nest.
