Local Wasp Nest Removal Doncaster

Wasps can be dangerous when they build their nests near humans, in areas such as homes, gardens, school playgrounds or business premises. That’s because wasps deliver a painful sting when they feel threatened, which might be whenever a human approaches their nest.

The worker wasps have a duty to protect the queen wasp inside the nest, and they will sting if you get too close. Wasp stings can be painful and cause itchy welts on your skin, and if you are allergic to wasps, then they can cause a reaction and even lead to anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal. Also, wasp nests can grow from the size of a golf ball to a basketball or bigger, and this can cause structural damage to your property if not removed promptly.

Wasps and their nests are often mistaken for other pests, including bees and hornets. At Don Valley, we can remove wasps and hornets, but we don’t carry out the relocation of honey bee swarms. As such, it’s important that you understand the difference between the three species before you call us to carry out your pest treatment.

Wasp nests are made from chewed paper and usually look like papier-mâché globes or teardrops. Hornet nests are also made from chewed wood, but they are usually less well-formed in shape than wasp nests, and only have one entrance. Wasp nests can have multiple entrance holes and a visible honeycomb. Bee nests are made from wax and are usually oozy, with the honeycomb pattern on the outside so you can see the individual cells.
