Wasps

A common pest in the UK, particularly in the summer, wasps can be dangerous for homes and businesses. Having wasps flying around is not only irritating but also a health hazard because wasps have painful stings. Some people are also allergic to wasps, and this can cause them to go into anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal in rare cases.

Wasps are attracted to sweet food or areas with lots of flowers, so they’re often found in gardens and on the grounds of large commercial properties. They can make their way inside and build nests, which can be difficult to remove. Wasps never use the same nest twice, but other species, such as bumblebees, might use the nest, or else it will remain and can become a haven for other insect pests. The wasps will then build a replacement nest, causing further issues.

At Mission Pest Control, we aim to offer safe but effective wasp nest removal and wasp control services. We limit the use of insecticides and try to provide a solution that will get rid of your wasp infestation without causing harm to non-target species in the local area.

Our wasp nest removal solutions are cost-effective and will protect your property and visitors from wasp stings and the stress of dealing with a wasp infestation. We can treat the wasp nest and remove the colony to reduce the risk of the wasps returning to your property.

Wasps

Wasps are one of the most common winged insect pests we’re called out to deal with. The Common Wasp, or Yellowjacket, is the most prevalent and distinctive, with its bright yellow and black striped body and defined ‘waist’ between its thorax and abdomen. A wasp nest looks like it’s made from paper on the outside, with a swirl that leads to a small hole through which worker wasps enter and leave.

Bees

Bees are a key part of our ecosystem, and most species of bees found in the UK are in decline. As such, Mission Pest Control does not kill bees, but instead works with local beekeepers in the Swindon area to relocate them. This approach ensures the protection of local bee populations and protects people and property throughout Swindon and the South West.

Hornets

Hornets look like larger versions of wasps, but they are actually considered less aggressive. However, their size means that hornet stings can be particularly painful and irritating. The European Hornet is the only species of hornet that’s native to the UK, but in rare cases, you might encounter an Asian Hornet, which should be reported using the Government’s Asian Hornet Watch App immediately.

Wasp nest removal should only be carried out by experienced professional pest controllers with the right safety equipment.

That’s because wasps and hornets can both become aggressive when disturbed and will sting.

These stings are not only painful but can also cause issues for those who have a wasp allergy. An allergic reaction can cause you to be hospitalised and can be a major health issue.

As well as being a health hazard, having a wasp nest on your property can cause structural damage, especially if you try to remove it without expert help. Wasps like to build nests inside structures, such as in cavity walls, roof spaces, sheds or chimneys. To remove them safely without damaging your property, you need professional support.

Mission Pest Control has extensive experience carrying out wasp nest removal across Swindon and the South West, so we have the skills and equipment to remove wasp nests and colonies quickly and efficiently. Our team can promptly respond to your call and get rid of your wasp problem fast, which is ideal for homes with kids or businesses that need to protect their customers and reputations.
