Why Are Wasps Dangerous?
Bristol Wasp Control is a necessity in many cases because wasps can be such a dangerous nuisance pest.
Getting wasps controlled in your home or garden makes sense early in the year before the nests are large enough to put you or your loved ones at risk of wasp stings or even swarming, which can lead to serious wasp infestations.
In rare cases, wasp attacks are life-threatening, and we have seen this first hand!
Emergency Wasp Control
We fully understand the risks and prioritise any wasp nests that pose an imminent danger to you. We will usually arrive on site within an hour, so you can rest assured your wasp problem will be gone the very same day.
In such emergencies, it is crucial to rely on a professional pest control company to ensure the problem is handled safely and effectively.
Are Wasp Chemicals Dangerous?
The chemicals we use in the industry are very safe.
We use insecticidal dust that works almost immediately and most wasps nests fall silent within an hour.
Even the very most substantial nests are controlled quickly and safely, not because the chemicals are strong, but because the wasps are very sensitive to it.
The Chemical Used is “ Ficam D “.

Are Wasp Stings Dangerous?
Wasp stings can be dangerous, especially for individuals who are allergic to the venom. When a wasp stings a human, it injects venom that can cause various reactions.
Wasp sting venom contains toxic proteins that can trigger pain, swelling, redness, and itching at the sting site.
In more severe cases, allergic reactions can occur, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, hives, and even anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening reaction.
In the UK, it is estimated that around 3% of adults and 1-2% of children have a true allergy to insect stings, which includes wasp stings.
It's important for individuals with known allergies to carry an epinephrine auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) and seek immediate medical attention if they experience a severe allergic reaction to a wasp sting.
Do You Remove The Wasps Nests?
We rarely remove wasp nests because we want the worker wasps to return to the nest and be eliminated.
It can be a few hours before all the wasps have returned, and if they don’t have a nest to return to, they tend to hang around with no means of control.
Simple really – If you remove the nest too soon, you have no active chemical to eliminate returning wasps.
One pest controller famously removed a wasp nest and put it into a bag before placing it in their customer’s wheelie bin. The wasps ate through the bag, and when their daughter took out her birthday present wrappers, they swarmed her!
Some British wasps are dangerous, and we don’t take chances – we play it safe every time and leave wasps nests treated in situ to die completely. We keep you safe.
