Wasp nest destroyer | Wasp nest killer | Wasp nest spray

Wasps nest in loft? Wasps nest in shed? These are the 2 most common places for wasps to build their nests. Wasp nest removal or wasp nest destruction prior to removal can, in many instances, be an extremely quick and easy process. However, buying the correct product for the job is essential 

With Queen Wasps hibernating behind the bark of a tree over winter, many homes, particularly in rural, leafy locations can find themselves suffering with wasps nests year after year. Paying for a pest control company to frequently visit and carry out what is often a quick 10 minute job, can be a very costly exercise. With the introduction of new easy-to-use products, wasp control and wasp nest removal can now be a quick and simple DIY process.

Wasps nests in houses

Wasps nests in houses and, in particular, wasps nests in lofts, are frequently discovered by noticing the insects flying out from under roof tiles or the eaves of a property. This is a route commonly used by wasps to gain access to lofts. Homeowners also often discover wasps in lofts by going up into the roofspace, switching on a light and within minutes noticing the insects flying around the bulb as, like many other insect species, wasps will often fly to where they see light. Upon location of the wasps nest, the full range of products shown below can provide safe and simple wasp control.

Wasps nests in shed

Garden sheds are another place where wasp activity is frequently found. When wasps make their nests they do so by removing tiny scrapings of wood from fences, wooden garden furniture, or anywhere that they can find the material. This is then taken back to a site where it is chewed up and mixed with their saliva to form the nest. With a garden shed having a good supply of  wood, this often makes for a popular choice with wasps. 

As wasps nests in sheds are usually clearly visible, this makes them probably the easiest to treat. The introduction of the new Digrain Wasps & Hornets Destroyer with its powerful jet action, means wasp nest destruction can be carried out from a distance of up to 10 feet, the Rentokil Wasps Nest Killer Foam will do the same job but requires you to get slightly closer.

Wasps nests in the ground, and wasps nests in bushes or hedges are also frequently found. Again these can often easily be treated with the range of products shown below.

Wasp nests in winter

Wasp nests in winter can be noticed when storing items in the loft, or perhaps bringing down Christmas decorations. Wasps nests in winter will normally be empty; however, if you want to be sure, spraying the nest with Digrain Wasps & Hornets Destroyer, or Rentokil Wasp Nest Killer Foam  will kill any wasps that may still be left in the nest.

Important Notice: Buying the correct wasp nest killer, and when to use which!

Many people make the mistake of buying the wrong wasp nest killer for the job. In simple terms there are two main types of application, one is a foam and the other is a powder. Whether you have discovered a wasps nest in a loft, wasps nest in a shed, bird box, hedge, cavity wall or even in the soil of the ground, the most important thing to consider is can you see the actual nest?

If you can't you will need the Rentokil Wasp Nest Powder, as this is a contact dust which can be applied to the entry point, the wasps will then take the insecticide back in to the nest on their legs and wings which will then quickly destroy it. Applying a wasps nest foam to an entry point when you can't see a nest will not work, and may cause further problems by blocking the entry point.

If you can see the actual wasps nest, then either the Rentokil Wasps Nest Killer Foam or Digrain Wasps & Hornet Nest Destroyer will be suitable.

In both instances, in order to provide some protection to the head / face a wasp protection jacket is always advisable.
