Moles ~ Squirrels ~ Wasps & Hornets
Wasps and Hornets are both beneficial in the garden as they control other small pests
and clear away dead insects, also hornets are relatively rare so where possible both
should be left alone.
When they stray too close to human habitats they can be a dangerous nuisance and
may require control.
Why Control Wasps & Hornets
Methods of Wasp Control Offered
In most circumstances I will undertake wasp control with an insecticide dust. This
dust is pumped into the wasp nest or the opening where the wasps are gaining entry
to the nest.
Identification
Although the two types of insects can look a little similar Hornets are larger than
Wasps and have a brighter orange colour.
~ Hornets are 20-35mm long and have brown and yellow bands
~ Wasps are 11-22mm long and have black and yellow bands
Nests
Wasps and hornets will build their nests anywhere that is protected from the elements
and is undisturbed. This can be a roof space/loft, garden shed, in the ground and
even in trees and bushes.
It is highly recommended that you DO NOT attempt to deal with these nests yourselves
as wasps and hornets are highly protective and will attack in numbers if threatened.
As a professional pest controller I treat wasps nests in Witney, Carterton, Eynsham,
Standlake, Woodstock, Charlbury, Kirtlington, Kidlington, North Oxford and Cumnor.
If your area is not mentioned please call as it may be possible to travel further
within Oxfordshire.
