As the warmer months arrive, wasps become more active and visible around homes and businesses. While they are a natural part of the ecosystem, a wasp nest close to your property can quickly become a serious problem. At Millennium Pest Control Limited, our professional wasp exterminator services are designed to deal with infestations safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind during the busy summer season.
Why Wasp Nests Can Be Dangerous
Wasps can build their nests in many different locations, including loft spaces, roof areas, sheds, garages, wall cavities and even in the ground. As the colony grows, the number of wasps increases rapidly and they become far more defensive of their nest.
Wasp activity is usually at its highest between late July and September, when nests are at their largest and most active. During this time, wasps can become very aggressive if they feel their nest is threatened.
Even as the year moves towards autumn and early winter, nests may remain active if the weather stays mild. When temperatures begin to drop, wasps can become sluggish or “dopey”, which can make them unpredictable and sometimes even more dangerous.
A wasp sting can be painful and unpleasant for most people. However, for individuals who are allergic to wasps or hornets, a sting can cause anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can be life threatening. This is why professional pest control is strongly recommended when dealing with a nest.
Safe and Effective Wasp Nest Treatment
At Millennium Pest Control Limited, we provide experienced and reliable wasp exterminator services to remove nests safely and minimise the risk to you and your property.
If the nest is accessible from the outside, we kindly ask customers to ensure that our technicians have clear access so the treatment can be carried out efficiently. Once the treatment has been completed, we will send you a detailed report by email.
Safety is always our top priority. Our team can safely carry out treatments using double ladders to reach areas up to around two storeys high (approximately 6 metres). If the nest is located higher than this, it is important to notify us in advance. In these cases, the job may require two technicians and additional equipment such as three tier ladders, scaffolding or a cherry picker.
There are also certain environmental restrictions we must follow. For example, we cannot treat a wasp nest that is located within one metre of a water course, as the insecticides used can be extremely harmful to aquatic life.
