Wasps and Hornet nests can be found in a variety of places, including:
Ensure that outside bin lids fit correctly and that any food waste and sugary spillages are cleared.
Wasps nests start the size of a golf ball but can grow to the size of a football. Check for wasps at the start of the season (May time) in areas such as shed, garage, lofts and roof eaves.
The cost of a wasp nest removal will depend on its accessibility to our technicians (majority of call outs are treated with a lance).
However, it could vary if any additional access equipment is required.

If you have a wasp or hornet’s nest on your property and you are the homeowner or business owner, you are responsible for seeking professional treatment.
If you rent a property, your landlord is responsible for resolving a wasp issue via professionals.
Wasps and hornets are serious pests and are known to sting when disturbed or trapped, which for people who are allergic to stings can cause potentially fatal anaphylactic shock.
Wasp venom contains a cocktail of toxins, some of which can cause Kounis syndrome, where the blood vessels are constricted leading to a heart attack.
Wasps release an alarm pheromone when stinging you, so if you are near the nest, swarms of wasps will react to the pheromone and can also attack you.
The tell tail sign for the presence of a wasp nest is a high level of activity heading to a similar location at your property, normally this activity increases during warm sunny days.
Typical locations you see them flying into are cracks between tiles, or in the eaves.
Wasps nests only need to be removed if they are causing a problem and pose a risk to human health.
The main way to differentiate between a wasp and a bee is their shape. Bees have stout, hairy bodies with flat rear legs whereas wasps have slender bodies with a narrow waist and appear smooth and shiny with a much more radiant yellow colour.
Their nests are also different bee nests consist of exposed combs made from wax, while wasp nests are made from paper and are generally ball-shaped with an outer paper covering.
As pest controllers, we understand the risks associated with wasp stings. When treating nests we put ourselves very much in line for wasps to attack us. This is why at Vergo we take every precaution to protect our technicians, by ensuring they have the correct PPE to carry out the treatment that minimises any risk.
Where possible our technicians will treat wasp nests from the ground, using extendable poles that enable them to deploy the insecticide or cryogenics (use of ultra-low temperatures) into the nest.
Working at height while treating a wasp nest brings with it another layer of complexity and risk for our team, so where required due to access problems we may need the use of mobile access equipment to ensure that we can safely treat the nest.
Wasps nests go through cycles, usually lasting between 3-4 months.
