⚠️ Why Wasp Nests Are Dangerous

Wasps are aggressive insects that will defend their nests fiercely. A single nest can contain 100-10,000+ wasps depending on the species and time of year. Disturbing a nest without professional help can result in multiple stings and serious allergic reactions.

Risks of Wasp Infestations:

  • Serious stings: Wasps can sting multiple times and are highly aggressive when defending nests
  • Allergic reactions: Wasp stings can trigger severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis in some people
  • Property damage: Wasps can damage wood, insulation, and electrical wiring
  • Business disruption: Wasp nests near entrances drive away customers and create liability issues
  • Rapid growth: Nests grow quickly – a small nest can become massive in weeks
  • Recurring infestations: Without proper removal, wasps return to the same location year after year
🚨 DO NOT attempt DIY removal. Disturbing a wasp nest without professional equipment is extremely dangerous. Call us immediately for safe, professional removal. 07366 395842

Common Wasp Species in Derbyshire

Common Wasps (Vespula vulgaris)

Black and yellow striped wasps, about 12-15mm long. Build large grey paper-like nests in lofts, sheds, and trees. Most aggressive species. Peak activity: July-October. Highly territorial and will sting repeatedly.

German Wasps (Vespula germanica)

Similar to common wasps but slightly smaller. Build nests in cavities, walls, and underground. Extremely aggressive. Often found in buildings. Attracted to food and drink – common at picnics and outdoor events.

Paper Wasps (Polistes species)

Reddish-brown wasps that build open, umbrella-shaped nests. Less aggressive than common wasps but will defend nests. Often found under eaves and in sheds. Smaller nests but still dangerous when threatened.

Solitary Wasps

Larger wasps that don't form colonies. Generally non-aggressive and beneficial (hunt other insects). Rarely sting unless directly threatened. Usually don't require removal unless in high-traffic areas.
