Wasps live in social groups. Each colony is established in the spring by a queen, the nest and the colony grows throughout the summer and some nests can have as many as a hundred wasps.
If you have a wasps nest you should not try to remove it, especially if the nest is in the roof space, this work should be carried out by a professional pest controller. The main hazard is the risk of anaphylactic shock which can arise from a single wasp sting.
We treat wasps nests by applying an insecticidal dust into the entrance of the nest at high pressure. Once this has been carried out the wasps will distribute the dust naturally around the nest, killing the queen and the rest of the wasps. This will normally take about twenty four hours.
