Wasp Nest Removal Prestonpans

Wasp Nest Removal Prestonpans Scotland (EH32): The heat of spring and summer in Prestonpans not only sees us outside in the garden and the open air, it also sees more insect activity and raises the potential for seeing wasps around your house. Wasps on the whole aren't an issue for many people in Prestonpans, and their benefits far exceed the risk of being stung in most situations. With that said, something definitely must be done when a swarm of wasps decides to build a nest in your loft, shed eaves or garden hedge.

It's generally safer to call on a specialist for this sort of procedure, particularly in out of reach places, although it is quite possible, if you discover a wasp nest early on, to treat it with shop bought products yourself. Under no circumstances should you ever knock down a wasps nest, squirt it with insect killer or disturb it in any way, shape or form. Doing this is liable to annoy the wasps inside, and will cause them to leave the nest and attempt to sting any creature they see. Which will probably be you or your family. Even a small wasps nest can be home to a hundred or more wasps, and these belligerent insects are much more irascible near their nests.

CAN A WASP NEST DAMAGE PROPERTY?

To assess if a wasps nest causes a potential threat to your property in Prestonpans, a competent pest exterminator can figure out the kind of wasp that you've got. So as to make pulp for their nests, some types of wasps will gnaw wood, and if left unchallenged for a while, can result in damage to roof joists and timbers. Although this damage is not likely to be an immediate safety threat, over time it can lead to problems which will must be fixed.

It is recommended that you do not block up a hole if you discover it's an obvious exit and entry point for wasps accessing your property. If you obstruct an entrance to an active nest, the wasps inside will find another way out, and the wasps on the outside will search for an alternative way in. As they create another hole to gain entry to their nest, this can result in further damage to other areas of your home. An accredited wasp nest removal firm in Prestonpans will be able to minimize the chances of any more structural damage, by uncovering the nest and carefully removing it. After this has been completed you will be able to repair and stop up any holes that were allowing access into your home.

WHAT KINDS OF WASPS ARE THERE?

Whilst there are over seven thousand wasp species in the UK there are two primary varieties we can divide them into: Solitary and Social wasps.

Solitary Wasps: As the name implies, solitary wasps are loners, and just build small nests, or use holes in the soil or gaps left in timber. The majority of people seldom notice solitary wasps, and they've got beneficial impacts in the garden by feeding on harmful garden pests such as caterpillars, greenfly and aphids.

Social Wasps: The wasps known as social wasps will be the insects that you'll sometimes observe gathering in their thousands in Prestonpans and creating large nests. Such large nests can be something of a problem as they expand, and may even make a house a no-go area until appropriately dealt with. If there happen to be children or pets on the property, the nests of social wasps should be dealt with by a skilled professional, as they present an immediate and continuing danger in such instances.

WHAT SOLUTIONS ARE THERE FOR DEALING WITH A WASP NEST IN PRESTONPANS?

If you have a fairly small wasp nest on your property in Prestonpans, and the insects aren't actually troubling you or your loved ones to any degree, it can safely be left for now, to see if a problem develops. Wasps will not return to an old nest as soon as the summer life cycle is finished. There'll be a decrease in the amount of wasps during the autumn, and in the wintertime the entire colony will die, never ever going back to the nest. This doesn't suggest that wasps won't revisit the same spot, but only that the old nest will not be used again. If left undisturbed, old wasps nests will last for many years, as they're made with a sort of cellulose material and don't rot away or decay. It is safe to remove an abandoned wasp nest, but you can leave it undisturbed if it isn't causing you any problems.

If the nest is large and the wasps are causing a problem for yourself and your family it's recommended that you call out a certified Prestonpans wasps nest removal company to deal with it. Keeping them and your family safe, a qualified wasps nest removal service in Prestonpans, will be kitted out with all of the most appropriate PPE and first aid equipment. It might be necessary for you to vacate your home for a while subject to the severity of the wasp problem. It must always be remembered that all human activity in the vicinity of a nest is likely to be met with hostile behaviour from the wasps as they attempt to safeguard their queen.

Locating the primary nest and entrances, and establishing the species of wasp that's causing the issue, is going to be the first objective for any pest control company. This will mean a comprehensive on-site survey will be carried out, as there could be more than just one nest on your property in Prestonpans. Eaves, attics, dog kennels and cavity walls are all popular areas where wasps build nests in Prestonpans. Seeing as this procedure could mean working up high on a ladder in some cases, the need for getting professional assistance is even more obvious.

After establishing the precise placement of the nest, the pest control specialist will administer a suitable systemic pesticide. This might be in the form of a spray or dust dependant upon the type, location and size of nest. More than one pesticide treatment could be required to make sure that the wasps are taking the pesticide right the way into the centre of the nest and completely destroying it. Until such time as all of the foraging wasps have returned to the nest and come into contact with the pesticide, no further measures should be attempted. There should be very little activity from and to the nest about 24 hrs from the initial treatment. The wasps nest can then be removed any time between 48 hours and a month after this, making sure that all of the wasps have been eradicated and the nest is safe to approach.

Residences which have been left empty for some time could need whole house fumigation if the nests have spread into rooms and living spaces.

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS FROM WASPS IN PRESTONPANS?

According to reports by NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence), about 0.5% of UK people may experience anaphylaxis shock on account of a bee or wasp sting, and the evidence shows that this number is slowly increasing. Between 1998 and 2012 there was a twenty one year study whereby in Wales and England there were 2688 admissions to hospitals brought on by wasp stings, and 93 of these were fatal. There is a higher risk for those over 60 and the extremely young, although a sting from a single wasp can be life-threatening for any person who's got a previous history of intolerance to wasp venom.

HOW CAN I PREVENT WASPS NESTING ON MY PROPERTY IN PRESTONPANS?

To get detailed advice on the preventive steps that you can take to stop wasps from nesting in your home or garden in Prestonpans, you should contact your local pest control company.

It's worth keeping in mind that sheltered, dark locations that are protected from rain and wind, are the places where wasps usually like to make nests. That is the reason why lots of wasps nests are built in attics, eaves and roof voids in Prestonpans. Check carefully for any damage or holes and seal them up wherever possible. Cover up up airbricks, soffits, chimneys and vents with small grade stainless steel mesh. Since wasps favour darker areas, you could consider putting in a low-wattage light or perhaps even a window in your roof void. Wooden sheds, garden buildings and even roof joists can be coated with stain, creosote or wasp repellent to discourage wasps and other stinging insects.

Wasp-Proofing a Property in Prestonpans

To ensure a comfortable and safe environment, it is vital to engage in wasp-proofing for your property. Doors, walls and windows should be checked for gaps or cracks, which should then be sealed. Vents and windows should be fitted with mesh screens to deter entry. Piles of debris or wood should be removed to prevent hornets or wasps from nesting. To prevent wasps from getting into your outside garbage bin, make sure it is tightly closed. Sugary foods or drinks are a magnet for wasps, so cover them up. To avoid attracting wasps, place traps and decoys away from common areas.

Wasps are repelled by the smell of eucalyptus and mint, so consider planting these plants around your property. Ensure a proactive approach to wasp control by regularly inspecting the property for indications of activity and promptly eliminating nests when necessary. Educate all occupants concerning wasp safety procedures, including remaining calm and still when encountering a wasp, and the appropriate response to stings. Having awareness and knowledge is essential for maintaining a wasp-free and secure environment. (68391 - Wasp-Proofing Prestonpans)
