| The wasp is generally the most abundant and disliked of all British insects. The most common of these are the German Wasp and the Common Wasp. Their bodies have the characteristic black and yellow band across the abdomen. They are fairly large insects approx 14mm in length. | ||||
| Wasp nests may be found in roof spaces, wall cavities and air grates of buildings, hanging from trees as well as underground. |

| Although having beneficial qualities, wasps are generally regarded as being a nuisance. It is the wasps' ability to give a painful sting which makes these insects feared by members of the public. | ||||
| The sting is caused by an injection of venom into the victim. Unlike the sting of a bee, the wasp sting can be withdrawn from the victim and used again. | ||||
Wasp nests should be approached with extreme caution. Multiple stings can be very dangerous. Wasps have a very powerful sting and readily use it to defend the nest or themselves. Unlike bees, which are quite passive, wasps can be very aggressive. |

| SOLUTION - Pest Control for Wasps Nests | ||||
| Manchester Pest Control operatives can treat the nest with an approved insecticide dust. A single treatment will normally be all that is needed, however it will take several days for the treatment to work. We will also completely remove the nest. | ||||
