LONDON WASP CONTROL ENQUIRIES: http://www.pestcontrol4london.co.uk/wasp-pest-control-london-wasps-uk.html GENERAL PEST CONTROL ENQUIRIES: http://www.pestcontrol4london.co.uk T: 0208 787 5929 M: 07919 996 565 E: info@pestcontrol4london.co.uk TOP 10 PROBLEMS WASPS CAN CAUSE • Wasps will sting when they become agitated, and can attack you if you have a wasp nest on your property and they feel their nest is threatened. • Having nesting wasps indoors is potentially hazardous to property. They can cause damage inside lofts, and to things like wall cavities and ceilings. • Wasps like to build their nests in gutters where there’s plenty of material, which can block them up and potentially cause drainage problems. • Once a queen has created a nest, she begins to breed quickly and the nest can grow to the size of a football or even larger within weeks. • If you’re one of thousands of people who suffer from wasp sting allergies, being stung can be very dangerous to your health or even fatal. • Sweet food and drinks are attractive to wasps. They are particularly a nuisance and sting risk around picnics and outdoor eating areas. • Wasps that nest in the loft have been known to get into domestic water tanks, and eventually make their way on to shower filters and tap outlets. • Pets are particularly vulnerable if you have wasps on your property. Pets can aggravate wasps during play, and if swallowed can be very harmful. • Children are also in danger if you have wasps or a wasp nest. They can cause distress or lead to more serious problems if they get stung and hurt. • Wasps in a business setting can result in risk to customers and a loss in revenue and local reputation. Wasps in outdoor restaurants can be a turn off. TOP 10 WASP PREVENTION & DETERRENT TIPS • Prevent wasps from getting into your home or garden shed by de-cluttering and by sealing up entry point cracks and crevices around your property. • Grow some wasp repelling plants in your garden such as spearmint, thyme and citronella. They are natural deterrents as wasps don’t like them. • Build or buy a wasp trap using sugar and water inside a specially designed container. Once insects go inside the bottle they are unable to get out. • Wasps love really bright colours, so make sure garden items are in neutral colours. Yellow and red are particular favourites, so should be avoided. • If a wasp does get too near to you, do not panic and threaten the wasp, or flap your arms about. Erratic movements will aggravate the wasps. • When you have wasps in your garden, make sure to wear insect repellent if you’re going to be outside. Also avoid perfume as it attracts wasps too. • Keep food in sealed containers wherever possible, especially outdoors. Choose picnic drinks and snacks that are not sweet to reduce attraction of wasps. • Do not use water, fire or try hitting a wasp nest, as these methods will not get rid of it. In reality, it will further induce the wasps to attack and sting you. • Natural repellent products use the territorial nature of wasps to keep them away, making them a deterrent that does not harm wasps in any way. • Call in a professional residential or commercial pest controller to remove the wasp problem for you. Never attempt to remove a wasp nest by yourself. ABOUT US Do you need wasp pest control or any kind of residential or commercial pest control in London?
