If you are looking for wasp nest removal in Kent then read on to find out the facts on wasps.
In the summer months, Wasps are among one of the most common pests that a provider of pest control in Kent will get calls about. This is because when wasps move into a property they will cause all sorts of damage, generally be annoying, and they will breed VERY quickly. They are of course dangerous for those who suffer from an allergy to them. It is therefore a problem that needs to be dealt with sooner as opposed to later.
In the UK we have two different types of wasp (mainly). This is the common wasp and the German Wasp. There are a couple of other breeds, but if you have a wasp infestation then it is likely you will be dealing with one of those two. Both types of wasp tend to share the same characteristics, both are incredibly defensive, and both will deliver excruciatingly painful stings.
Wasps will attempt to build their nests in any location which seems to be sheltered for them. This means that in the home and in commercial properties you will tend to find them in wall cavities, attics, basements, and just about any ‘dark location’ where they can thrive without too much disturbance. Once inside they will be quite annoying and can cause severe structural damage if you are not careful. If in doubt contact Kent pest control for Wasp nest removal in Kent.
Wasps tend to have a rather short lifespan. It is very rare for a Queen Wasp to reach one year old. A worker wasp (male) will be doing well if it can go over six weeks. A female worker will probably not reach a month in age. This does not matter though. Wasps are not going to just disappear like that. As you will see soon they constantly breed. It is not uncommon for a single wasp nest to hold anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 wasps at once. Imagine those in your home! When a wasp dies there will be another one there to replace it shortly afterwards. Nests will die out when winter rolls around, but by that time you will probably have a lot of damage to your property and you will not want to wait.
The main job of the Queen Wasp will be to lay the eggs which the worker wasps will be able to fertilise. Thousands upon thousands of eggs will be produced throughout the summer season. Only the Queen’s eggs will be fertilised though. This is because the Queen will ensure that the eggs laid by female workers are destroyed.
Wasps are omnivores. This means that they will eat both plants as well as other insects. Generally speaking, insects will be the main source of food for younger wasps, but as they get older they will start to feed more and more on plants. This can of course cause massive problems to your garden as you will have hundreds, if not thousands, of wasps flying all over the place munching on your beautiful plants and eradicating all of those beneficial insects. It can be quite a sight.
One of the reasons as to why you are going to need to deal with a wasp infestation as soon as possible is because they are HIGHLY aggressive animals. If you so much as come close to their nest you can expect hundreds upon hundreds of worker wasps rush towards you in order to defend their Queen. This is frightening experience.
If you are dealing with wasps in your home then it is important that you DO NOT try to rectify the problem on your own. Even if you are not allergic to wasp stings agitating a wasp nest and receiving hundreds of stings can make you seriously sick, and in some cases it can be quite deadly. This makes wasps one of the trickier pests to deal with. It is therefore suggested that you call in an expert that deals with pest control in Kent to help you out. They will be able to ensure that every single wasp leaves your property and hopefully ensure that they never return.
