At Reading Pest Control, we’re here to help with any wasp-related issues you may be experiencing. Unlike bees, wasps can sting unprovoked, which can pose a real danger to people, especially those who are allergic.

​

We strongly advise against attempting to remove wasp or hornet nests yourself due to the risk of aggressive attacks and stings. Professional treatment is always the safest option.

​

Please note that all wasp and hornet nest removals incur a charge, reflecting the specialist skills and equipment required.

​

If you discover a wasp or hornet nest on your property between January and April, it is likely to be an old nest from the previous season, as wasps rarely reuse the same nest year after year.

​

Wasps are adaptable nest builders and don’t just limit themselves to trees or lofts. They can also nest in unusual places such as birdcages, car engines, or underground tunnels—making professional inspection and removal all the more important.
