Paper wasps build their grey, umbrella-shaped nests in sheltered spots around Stafford homes, especially during spring and summer. Common places include under the eaves, inside the letterbox, on fence rails, in the roofs of sheds and pergolas, and deep in thick shrubs. People often find them the hard way while gardening or mowing. If you have spotted a nest, keep children and pets well away and do not try to knock it down yourself.
When you call, tell us where the nest is, how high it sits and roughly how big it looks. The crew we book will treat the nest and the wasps with the right gear, then remove the nest once the wasps have settled down. They also look for other nests nearby, since paper wasps often build more than one around the same house. Nests in awkward spots, such as inside a wall or high on a two-storey home, may need extra time.
