Common Signs of a Wasp or Bee Nest
Wasp and bee activity often becomes noticeable when nests are already established. Common signs include a high level of flying activity around eaves, rooflines, sheds, fences, trees, or wall cavities, as well as insects repeatedly entering and exiting the same location.
Nests may be visible on structures or concealed within wall voids, roofs, or garden features. Wasps are typically aggressive and territorial, particularly during warmer months, while bees tend to be less aggressive but still pose a risk if disturbed.
If stinging insects are active near entry points, play areas, or frequently used outdoor spaces, professional assessment is strongly recommended to ensure safe and appropriate management.
Why DIY Wasp and Bee Control Can Be Dangerous
Attempting to remove or treat wasp or bee nests without professional training can be dangerous. Disturbing a nest often triggers aggressive defensive behaviour, increasing the risk of multiple stings. For individuals with allergies, even a single sting can pose a serious medical risk.
DIY sprays and removal methods are often ineffective and may cause insects to relocate rather than eliminate the nest. In the case of bees, there may also be legal and environmental considerations, as many bee species are protected and require relocation rather than extermination.
Professional wasp and bee control ensures correct identification of the species and safe, compliant treatment or relocation where required. This approach prioritises safety while delivering effective and responsible outcomes.
