Being stung by a bee or wasp can be a painful experience and in some cases life threatening to anyone allergic. Risks of stings can be reduced by managing wasp or bee nests properly. If experiencing high numbers of wasps in your home or garden there is likely a nest nearby.

Identifying a Wasp Nest:

• Wasps make their nests from chewed wood pulp and saliva giving them papery walls.
• Usually built in sheltered spots with easy access to the outside such as wall cavities, roof spaces, under eaves, in garden sheds or garages.

Most Common Wasp Species:

• English and European/German Wasps
• Paper nest Wasps
• Honey Bees
• Mortar Bees
• Carpenter Bees
