Wasps & Hornets
Wasp and Hornet Removal and Treatment throughout Shropshire and Telford
Wasp and hornet infestations present a significant threat to both residential and commercial properties. These stinging insects are not only highly territorial and aggressive, but their nests often hidden in hard to reach areas can grow rapidly and lead to recurring infestations if not addressed promptly and thoroughly. More than just a nuisance, wasps and hornets are capable of inflicting painful stings and, in some cases, triggering life-threatening allergic reactions.
At Pest Scope Pest Control & Environmental Services we specialise in the professional removal and treatment of wasp and hornet infestations. With years of experience, certified technicians, and environmentally responsible methods, we provide clients with effective, lasting solutions designed to eliminate existing colonies and prevent their return.

Understanding the Risks Posed by Wasps and Hornets
​
Both wasps and hornets are predatory insects known for their ability to sting multiple times and for their aggressive behavior when defending their nests. The dangers associated with these pests include:
-
Physical Harm: Unlike bees, which typically sting only once, wasps and hornets can sting repeatedly. Their venom can cause intense pain, swelling, and in certain individuals, severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, which may require immediate medical attention.
-
Behavioral Aggression: These insects are extremely defensive and can attack in large numbers when disturbed. Simple activities such as mowing the lawn, using outdoor equipment, or even walking near a nest can provoke an attack.
-
Structural Damage: Wasp and hornet nests can be found in wall cavities, attic spaces, roof eaves, decks, and trees. Over time, the presence of these nests can cause structural damage, including insulation contamination, drywall weakening, and wiring hazards.
-
Risk of Reinfestation: DIY removal methods, while commonly attempted, often fail to eliminate the root of the infestation—namely, the queen and the underlying nest structure. Incomplete treatments can result in rapid recolonization.
Our Expert Removal and Treatment Process
At Pest Scope we follow a meticulous and scientifically grounded process to ensure complete eradication of wasps and hornets:
1. Thorough Site and Nest Inspection
​
Our licensed professionals begin with a detailed inspection of your property to accurately identify the species, locate nests, and evaluate the extent of the infestation. We assess both visible and hidden nesting areas to provide a comprehensive treatment plan.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the inspection, we deploy targeted treatment solutions using professional-grade products that are effective against the specific species involved. Our treatments are designed to neutralize the threat quickly while minimizing any risk to your family, pets, or landscaping.
3. Safe Nest Removal and Treatment
When feasible, our team safely removes the nest to eliminate any residual activity and discourage new colonies from forming in the same location.
4. Preventative Measures and Consultation
Following nest removal, we offer expert guidance on how to minimize attractants such as food sources and nesting materials. Upon request, we can apply barrier treatments or install wasp deterrents to reduce the risk of future infestations.
5. Follow-Up Services
For persistent or high-risk areas, we provide scheduled follow-up visits and monitoring to ensure complete resolution of the issue.​​​​
