Do you think you have a wasps nest?

Here are the top things to look out for:

• Swarm of Wasps – an obvious sign that you have a wasp infestation is seeing a swarm of wasps in a particular area. Wasps will fly back and forth to their nest to mind their young and feed their queen hence, noting their flight path and furthermore following it, will most likely lead you to the source of where their nest is. Wasps can often be seen coming and going through cracks in brickwork or gaps under eaves. Wasps like to make their nests in sheltered spots that have easy access to the outside.
• Nest structure – muddy deposits or paper like material are both signs of a wasp’s nest. Different wasps build different types of nests, but they are still easy to spot. A wasp’s nest will increase in size very quickly. They will usually start off being the size of a golf ball but will grow into the size of a football or basketball. We would recommend not approaching the nest to avoid angering the wasps and putting you and your family in danger as wasps will get angry when they feel threatened and will sting you which could result in hospitalization.
• Noise – if you are hearing buzzing sounds it may also be a sign there is a wasp’s nest nearby. Wasp’s nest can be heard if they have nested in your roofing. If you suspect you have a wasp’s nest, then close all windows and doors, keep children away from the nest, and avoid disturbing it.
