Wasps

PEST ID
Size: 11-25mm
Colour: yellow and black

Unlike common bees, wasps are hairless and have 3 distinct body parts. Their sting however, can be just as lethal! In fact, wasps are able to sting multiple times. That, plus their tendency to be aggressive, makes them a very common nuisance to residential homes and even businesses.

They can build nests just about anywhere, from roofs and siding to trees and in the garden. While it can be tempting to try and DIY wasp nest removals, their large colonies and territorial behaviour make doing so very dangerous for homeowners. It’s always best to contact a professional service to treat and remove wasp nests.
