Wasp control
Wasp control is crucial in situations where wasps frequently enter homes or offices, especially endangering allergic individuals, particularly children, due to the risk of multiple stings. Engaging professional pest control services is advisable for safe removal, as wasps can sting repeatedly, unlike bees.
In the Gauteng region, our specialists primarily target species like Yellow Jackets, Paper wasps, and Hornets for control treatments. While some of these species play a beneficial role in controlling other insects, it's essential to consider wasp control only when necessary.
Identifying the need for wasp control involves observing a high number of wasps, indicating a nearby nest. These nests are typically found outdoors under eaves, overhangs, or sometimes indoors in roof spaces or walls.
Wasp nests start small, resembling golf balls in the spring, making it ideal for removal when their numbers are low. If left untreated, nests can grow significantly, hosting thousands of wasps and posing a greater threat, especially to those allergic to their venom.
While a single wasp sting may only cause temporary pain, repeated stings can lead to severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. Our removal approach involves a carefully executed treatment, including a residual spray to address the nest and nearby wasps. Protective clothing, such as a bee suit, is crucial to prevent stings during removal. We recommend wasp removal only when they pose a genuine threat.
