The Risks of a Wasp Infestation at Home
Wasps can be more than a seasonal nuisance, they pose real risks to your family, pets and even your property. Their stings are painful, and for some people, potentially dangerous due to allergic reactions. They’re also territorial and will defend their nest if disturbed. Common wasp nesting spots include:
- Loft spaces
- Wall cavities
- Garden sheds
- Rooflines and soffits
- Behind cladding or air vents
A large nest near your home can make daily life uncomfortable and prevent you enjoying your outdoor space. Our Nottingham wasp removal service ensures quick and discreet solutions so you can get back to relaxing safely.

Quick Facts About Wasps
Wasp Biology – Why It’s Hard to Ignore Them
Wasps live in highly organised colonies, usually led by a queen. She starts a new nest in spring, laying eggs that become the worker wasps we see buzzing around in summer.
- Queen Wasps hibernate over winter and emerge in spring to build new nests.
- Workers defend the nest, gather food, and help care for new wasp larvae.
- Drones are the males that appear later in the season to mate with future queens.
By autumn, the workers become more aggressive as food becomes scarce—this is often when we see the most trouble in gardens.

Facts About Wasps
Seasonal Surge
Wasps are busiest in late summer, especially August and September.
Repeat Offenders
If you’ve had a nest in a spot before, it’s likely they’ll return to that area.
Multiple Stings
Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly and become aggressive if they feel threatened.
Population Peaks
A single nest can house up to 5,000 wasps by late summer.

Tips for Avoiding Wasp Trouble
- Seal Cracks & Gaps: Regularly check soffits, vents and roof spaces for possible entry points.
- Keep Food Covered: Wasps are attracted to sweet drinks, fruit, and meat.
- Bin Hygiene: Keep outdoor bins sealed tightly and clean regularly.
- Be Aware in Spring: Spotting small nests early makes treatment easier and safer.
- Skip the DIY: Store-bought sprays often fail and can make things worse, especially with large or hidden nests.
Advice on Preventing Wasps
While we can help with immediate wasp control, it’s important to take steps to prevent future infestations. Here are some tips for keeping wasps away from your home and garden:
- Remove Potential Nesting Sites: In spring, check your property for any signs of wasps starting to build nests. If you notice small, paper-like structures, remove them before they develop into full-sized nests.
- Wasp Traps: Consider setting up a wasp trap in areas where you’ve experienced issues before. These traps attract wasps and prevent them from establishing nests on your property.
- Keep Outdoor Spaces Clean: Wasps are attracted to food and drink, so ensure that outdoor areas are clean and free from leftovers, sugary drinks, and fallen fruit from trees.
- Call the Experts: If you spot a nest or suspect a wasp infestation, it’s always best to consult a professional pest control service. DIY methods can be risky and ineffective, particularly when dealing with large or hidden nests.
