🐝 Starter hornet nest removed from a shed today.

This was still in the early stages, and you can clearly see the eggs inside the cells of the nest. At this point, the queen is doing all the work herself – building the nest, laying eggs and soon would be feeding the developing larvae once those eggs hatch.

Hornets tend to get started a little later than common wasps, which are already well underway now. Over the coming weeks, these small starter nests can grow surprisingly quickly once the first workers emerge.

An interesting find and a good example of why it's worth checking sheds, garages and outbuildings at this time of year.

A small wasp nest treated in Bridgnorth 🐝

The wasps were already quite agitated before filming, so a knock-down spray had been used beforehand to calm things down safely before applying the ice spray shown in the video to destroy the nest.

Even small nests can become aggressive surprisingly quickly once disturbed.

Wasp season is definitely starting to get going now with the warmer weather.

Getting things ready for wasp season 🐝☀️

Wasp suits and gloves aired out and ready to go again. Doesn’t seem two minutes since the end of last season.

This warmer weather soon gets them busy, so it won’t be long before the first proper nest calls start coming in.

Renewed my yearly NPTA certificate again this week.
Pest control is a much more complex industry than many people realise. It’s not just about dealing with pests — it involves ongoing training, exams, and keeping up with constantly changing legislation. No matter how long you’ve been in the trade, there’s always something new to learn, and staying up to date is a vital part of doing the job properly and responsibly.

Carpet Moth Treatment in Bridgnorth 🐛

Attended a property in Bridgnorth yesterday with damage to carpets caused by carpet moth larvae.

The issue had gone unnoticed for a while, which allowed the larvae to cause visible damage to the fibres.

Treatment carried out to target the infestation and advice given to help prevent further problems.

⚠️ Carpet moths are often only noticed once damage appears, so early signs can be easy to miss.

If you’re seeing unexplained carpet damage or suspect carpet moths, it’s best to get it checked early.
