The stinging wasp season is almost upon us once more, what would summer be without our old friends the wasps to pester us as we enjoy our evening barbeques?

The biology of the wasp means they are rarely seen much sooner than July as until then only the wasp queen is in the nest.

In spring the over-wintering queens leave their hibernating quarters to seek nesting sites which could be in a hole in the ground, a bush or artificial structures such as air-bricks eaves, lofts and attics, garden sheds etc.

The new queen starts to build her nest with a papery material that she makes by chewing small slivers of wood mixed with saliva; this is called Wasp paper.

She will raise the first few workers by herself and those workers will then commence the construction of the nest and feeding the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest building starts in earnest in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be in the nest. These workers will forage up to 400 metres from the nest. The size of wasp colonies will vary from year to year, the severity of the previous winter is probably the key factor.

In the Autumn the newly produced queens mate and leave the nest to hibernate, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never reused.

Many individuals react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, others endure considerable pain and discomfort and a few become seriously allergic to being stung, which in some cases results in sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.
Control
It is adviseable to let a professional Pest Control Officer destroy a Wasps’ nest for the reasons stated above. An insecticide will be injected into the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the middle of the nest and within a short time all wasps should be dead.

It is not a good idea to allow a wasps’ nest to go full term as the new queens produced by the nest will invariably create nests nearby in the following spring resulting in many more nests the following year. For this reason several nests are often found close together in an area a locality.

How Much Does a Pest Control Company Cost?

How Much Does a Pest Control Company Cost? – That’s a very difficult question to consider. It’s a little bit like ringing a mechanic and asking him how much to fix your car without being able to see it and diagnose the problem, virtually impossible to do.

Some jobs are pretty straightforward and here at Harrier Pest Prevention we are happy to give a fixed price on wasps’ nests but virtually every other pest problem will require a no obligation, free of charge site visit.

I would indeed be wary of any pest control company that are prepared to give prices without a site survey as this may indicate that they are not carrying out correct risk-assessments and are not mindful of the safety of you, your children and your pets.

For your no obligation site visit in Lancashire, Cheshire or Greater Manchester contact Harrier Pest Prevention or phone 0800 019 8382.
