The queen wasps usually emerge from hibernation in early spring and start looking for suitable places to build a new nest, usually in a dry area close to water.

Once a suitable location is found, she will start contructing a nest that reaches the size of a golf ball.  She then lays 10-20 eggs and once hatched, these wasps start taking over the nest building duties, leaving the queen to continue laying eggs.

The workers then start to take on other duties caring for the young grubs.

Towards the end of the summer months, a typical wasps' nest can contain up to 10,000 wasps.

You will be able to tell if you have a wasps' nest because you will be finding them on a regular basis around your home.

To find out where they are, if you go outside and take a look around your property for a few minutes you should see a constant stream of wasps going in and out of a specific area of your house, such as under tiles or guttering or in air bricks and fascia/soffit boards.

This is a sure sign that you have a wasps' nest.  The nest is usually 4-5 inches away from the wasps' entrance/exit hole.

A powerful and highly effective dust called Ficam D ( Active Ingredient - Bendiocarb) is applied to the wasps' entrance/exit hole, and if accessable, to the wasp nest itself. 

Immediately following treatment, wasp activity will in increase dramatically as the wasps go in to a hyperactive state.  This is completely normal and we advise to keep all nearby windows closed and to avoid the immediate area for 2-4 hours or until the activity subsides.

Following this stage, wasp activity will cease completely within 24-48 hours and all associated wasps, including the queen, will die off.

All of our wasp treatments are fully guaranteed.  This means that should you still experience wasp activity around the treated nest after 48 hours, we will immediately return to your property and treat again at no extra charge.
