Wasp Nest Removal Thorpe St Andrew Norfolk (NR7): As first spring and then summertime arrives in Thorpe St Andrew, we all tend to spend more time out in the open air. However, this coincides with an increase of insect activity and we see more hornets and wasps around our gardens and homes. Wasps in general aren't a problem for many people in Thorpe St Andrew, and their benefits largely outweigh the risk of getting stung in most situations. But when a swarm of wasps decides to build a nest in your attic, shed eaves or in a garden hedge or tree, then something has to be done.
You could be tempted to attempt this yourself, to save money and time, and it could be quite possible if you find it early enough, but it is generally advisable to bring in a specialist, particularly in out of reach areas. Not in any circumstances should you ever knock a wasp nest down, spray it with insect killer or disturb it in any way. Doing this is going to aggravate the wasps inside, and will encourage them to leave the nest and attempt to sting any creature they encounter. Which will probably be you or your loved ones. Even a modest nest can be home to a hundred or more wasps, and these insects are much more irascible when they are close to their nests.
CAN A WASP NEST DAMAGE PROPERTY?
A qualified pest control company should be able to identify the the variety wasp and ascertain if it causes a realistic risk to you or your home in Thorpe St Andrew. In order to make pulp for their nests, some wasps will chew on wood, and if left unchecked for a while, could result in structural damage to rafters and roof timbers. There is no cause to panic right away, since this does not pose an immediate risk, however in time, it could lead to serious problems that will need to be fixed.
If you spot a conspicuous access point to your home where wasps are entering and exiting, it's recommended that you do not block this hole. The wasps on the inside will search for a different way out, and the wasps outside will search for another way in, if you block off an entryway to an existing nest. This can result in further damage to other sections of your home as they establish another hole to gain access to their nest. A qualified wasp nest removal specialist in Thorpe St Andrew will be able to lessen the possibility of any more damage, by locating the nest and safely removing it. When the nest is destroyed you will then be able to repair and block any obvious holes.
WHAT TYPE OF WASPS ARE THERE IN THE UK?
We shall be looking at the 2 primary categories here i.e. "Solitary Wasps" and "Social Wasps", although there are actually over 7,000 different species of wasp.
Solitary Wasps: Solitary wasps are, as their name signifies, loners and only build smallish nests or use crevices left in woody plant stems and in the earth. Solitary wasps are seldom noticed by most people in Thorpe St Andrew, and as they feed on harmful garden pests like caterpillars, aphids and greenfly, have a mainly beneficial impact in your garden.
Social Wasps: The wasps you sometimes see swarming in their thousands in Thorpe St Andrew and building substantial nests are the social wasps. Such really large nests can be a serious problem as they grow, and can even make a property a no-go area until properly treated. If you've got pets or children, a social wasps nest can present an immediate and ongoing risk that should be exterminated and removed by a professional.
WHAT ARE THE SOLUTIONS FOR DEALING WITH A WASP NEST IN THORPE ST ANDREW?
If your household is not really being troubled by the wasps, and their nest is reasonably small, it can be left alone and closely watched for the time being. Wasps will not return to an old nest after the summer life cycle is complete. There will be a noticeable reduction in the amount of wasps during the autumn months, and in the winter the whole colony (apart from new queens) will die out, never ever returning to their nest. That isn't to assume that the selfsame spot will not be returned to, just that they won't reuse an abandoned nest. Old, discarded wasp nests don't decay or rot, because they are made with a kind of cellulose (paper like) material. The old nests can be left in position if they are not causing any problems, and will remain there for many years.
If the nest is huge and the wasps are causing a concern for you and your loved ones it's recommended that you call out an experienced Thorpe St Andrew company to deal with it. A reliable wasps nest removal specialist will be prepared for every scenario and will have the most appropriate first aid and personal protective equipment to keep them and you safe. Dependant upon the severity of the wasp situation, you may have to evacute the house while the procedure is being conducted. It is wise to understand that when you get near to a nest, you'll almost certainly be met with hostile behaviour, because the sole intention of the wasps is to protect the queen, which they'll do at any cost.
Discovering the species of wasp that is present, and pinpointing the location of the principal nest and the entry point, is going to be the initial job. A complete on-site survey will be crucial, because your premises in Thorpe St Andrew could easily be home to more than one solitary nest. Wasps will build nests in a number of different areas in Thorpe St Andrew, but garden sheds, lofts, roof eaves and wall cavities, are among the most popular. This means that in some cases the wasp removal specialists will be working at height, and is another reason for getting expert help.
Once the nest is detected, an appropriate liquid or powder insecticide will be applied. Subject to the variety of wasp, the type, location and size of nest, this lethal treatment could take the shape of a spray or dust. Repeated applications of the pesticide might be required to ensure that the nest nest is fully eradicated. Until all of the foraging wasps have returned to the nest and been exposed to the pesticide, no more steps should be taken. There should be hardly any activity from and to the nest around twenty four hours from the initial treatment. The wasp nest removal process can then take place anywhere between forty eight hours and up to a month after this, making sure that all of the wasps have been eradicated and the now neutralised nest can be safely approached.
Premises which have been left vacant for some time might require whole house fumigation if the wasp nests have spread into rooms and living spaces.
WHAT ARE THE DANGERS FROM WASPS IN THORPE ST ANDREW?
Based on figures released by NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence), in the region of 0.5% of people may experience anaphylaxis shock as a result of a wasp sting, and data shows that this number is increasing slowly. Between 1998 and 2012 there was a 21 year study whereby in Wales and England there were 2688 hospital admissions because of wasp stings, and 93 of these ended in death. The risks are increased in those over the age of 60 and the very young, although anyone who's got a previous history of intolerance to wasp venom can receive life-threatening stings from a solitary wasp.
HOW CAN I PREVENT WASPS NESTING ON MY PROPERTY IN THORPE ST ANDREW?
A reliable Thorpe St Andrew pest control service will be able to offer you guidance on preventive measures to take.
