How to Spot a Wasp Nest on Your Property in Shropshire

Wasps can be more than a nuisance—they can pose a serious risk to people, pets, and properties. Spotting a nest early can prevent costly damage and reduce the chance of painful stings. At Pest Express Shropshire, we specialise in safe, fast, and affordable Wasp Nest Treatments in Shropshire, with a fixed fee of just £70.

Common Signs of a Wasp Nest

• Increased wasp activity: A sudden surge in wasps near your roofline, shed, or garden.
• Visible wasps entering holes: Watch for wasps flying in and out of small openings in walls, lofts, or air bricks.
• Buzzing or scratching noises: Especially in attics or cavity walls.
• Paper-like structure: Wasps build grey, papery nests, often shaped like a ball or cone.

Where Wasps Typically Build Nests

• Loft spaces and roof eaves
• Sheds and outbuildings
• Holes in the ground or compost heaps
• Wall cavities or under fascia boards

What to Do If You Find a Nest

Do not attempt to remove or spray the nest yourself. Wasps are highly aggressive when disturbed and multiple stings can be dangerous. Instead, contact us for a fast booking and let our trained technicians handle it quickly and safely.
