WASP

Our qualified technicians provide fast, safe and effective wasp and hornet control throughout residential and commercial properties. We treat and remove nests located in lofts, roof spaces, wall cavities, trees, sheds, garages and other difficult access areas. Using professional products and equipment, we eliminate active nests quickly while providing expert advice to help reduce the risk of future infestations.

SIGNS OF A WASP INFESTATION

Increased Wasp or Hornet Activity

Frequent sightings of wasps or hornets flying around your property may indicate a nearby nest. They often follow the same flight path between the nest and food sources.

Visible Nests

Paper-like nests can often be found under roof eaves, in lofts, wall cavities, sheds, trees, or bushes. Early detection makes removal safer and prevents the colony from expanding.

Buzzing Sounds

A constant buzzing noise coming from walls, ceilings, or roof spaces may suggest a hidden nest. The sound is usually more noticeable during warmer parts of the day when the colony is active.

Aggressive Behaviour

Wasps and hornets become defensive when people or pets approach their nest. Repeated stinging incidents in the same area are a strong sign of an established colony nearby.

Our Approach to Wasp Control

At Gold Pest Control, we prioritize non-toxic and environmentally friendly methods. Our process includes:

Nest Inspection and Identification

A thorough inspection is carried out to locate the nest and identify the wasp or hornet species. This allows the most effective and safest treatment method to be selected.

Professional Insecticide Treatment

Specialist insecticides are applied directly to the nest using professional equipment. The treatment quickly eliminates the colony while minimising the risk to occupants.

Safe Nest Removal

Once the colony is inactive, the nest is safely removed where appropriate. Removing the nest helps reduce the likelihood of future activity in the same location.

Prevention and Proofing

Potential entry points into roof spaces, wall cavities, and outbuildings are sealed where possible. Homeowners are also advised on reducing attractants, such as exposed food and overflowing bins, to discourage future nesting.
