WASPS
A brief description
The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) and the German wasp (Vespula germanica) are the 2 most common type of wasp in the uk although approx 9000 species have been identified in the uk.
The common wasp has distinctive yellow and black stripes and adult workers are between 12mm-18mm approx 15mm in length with the queen being larger with a length of approx 20mm
The German wasp also has distinctive yellow and black stripes but the adult workers are slightly smaller that the common wasp and are approx 12mm in length and under closer inspection can be told apart by marking and dots on the abdomen and head
Life span and reproduction
With wasps being a season pest the queens that have gone into hibernation from the previous season (around September/October) will start to emerge in spring usually around march/April and start looking for a suitable location to build a nest.
An untreated nest from a previous season will produce 1000s of queens that will hibernate to emerge the following season, however only a small percentage of queens will survive hibernation.
The queens have a life span of approx 12 months with female workers life span is between 10-20 days with male workers have a slightly longer life span.
Once the queens have found a suitable nesting point they will start to build a nest with a small cell unit and lay eggs, then once the first brood of workers have hatched they will take over the nest building duty and brining food for the larvae whilst the queen concentrates on egg laying. Each queen can produce a nest with up to 8000 larvae and will lay between 200-300 eggs a days for a cycle of about 23 days.
Habitat and living conditions
Wasp nests will be built in all locations, in loft spaces, ventilation voids, gardens sheds, however over the years I’ve treated nests in boats, under car bonnets etc however queens will usually locate areas with lots of vegetation and shrubs for good nest building material and food so leafy areas will always have a bigger problem with wasps
Nests are constructed with plant material such as tree bark and leaf etc; the nests are a complex design with a outer shell for protection and a stacked cell structure for the larvae. The nest are soft to touch and will crumble if removed very similar to paper mache.
How to determine the presents of Wasps
The biggest clue you have a nest to visibly see one however some can be hidden in the non accessible so seeing wasps flying about a light bulb in a loft space or finding live wasps in light fittings and also seeing a high level of wasp activity around a certain area and a constant flow of traffic coming and going from a particular point would indicate a wasp nest is present
Health and disease
Many people will get stung at one point or another with no problems or allergic reactions however being stung will leave a raised swelling that is painful and itchy however within a few days any swelling or pain will disappear.
Many people are extremely allergic to wasp stings and being stung can cause that person to go into anaphylaxis shock the symptoms will include vomiting, dizziness, increased pulse and in some situations will result in death.
Treatment
Wasps do stings and as nests are not always accessible we would strongly advise you seek professional help to deal the problem in a safe way. We charge a very reasonable fee off £55.00 to deal with the problem and will inspect other areas of your property for other nests as additional nests are treated for £15.00 if treated at the same time.
As long as we can see the entry and exit points from outside were able with our equipment and extension poles to reach the nest from ground level however if the area of activity can’t be reached we would need to get access from a closer point.
All treatments are guaranteed so if after 72 hrs our initial effort of treatment hasn’t been fully effective and wasp activity is still present a follow up visit will be carried out free of charge
