Wasps in St Albans

If you see wasps entering and leaving a hole in the ground, wall, roof or another part of a building between May & November then you likely have a wasp nest. Nests are grey or brown structures made of a paper mache type material. Wasps are aggressive and will sting readily if they think the nest is in danger.

Every year there are deaths from wasp stings. They do some good by feeding on flies, caterpillars and other insects, wasp numbers are probably artificially high because buildings supply unlimited nest sites which in natural conditions would be caves, hollow trees and other natural cavities. They will cause massive amount of damage to fruits in the autumn.

We treat nests or the entrance to the nest by spraying using an insecticide called Ficam D which contains the chemical Bendiocarb 1% w/w. This is a modern biodegradable insecticide that is not highly toxic to mammals, but is extremely so to the hymenopterous group of insects (Wasps, Bees and Ants). The entrance to the nest or the nest itself will be treated using this insecticide.
