⚠️ Don’t Risk Treating a Wasp Nest Yourself ⚠️

Every summer, we attend properties where a simple wasp nest has become a dangerous situation because someone tried to deal with it themselves.

Disturbing an active nest can cause hundreds or even thousands of wasps to defend their colony. Multiple stings can be extremely painful and, for some people, even a single sting can trigger a serious allergic reaction requiring emergency medical treatment.

Many people choose to wait, hoping the problem will simply disappear. While wasp nests naturally die out in autumn, they continue to grow throughout the summer, often reaching several thousand wasps before the colony collapses. If the nest is close to your home, garden, workplace or anywhere people are likely to come into contact with it, early treatment is usually the safest option.

❌ Don’t spray household products.
❌ Don’t block the entrance.
❌ Don’t knock the nest down.
❌ Don’t use fire or boiling water.
❌ Don’t climb ladders to reach high-level nests.

At Povall Pest and Vermin Control we’re committed to protecting your family, your pets and your property with safe, professional wasp nest treatments.

Don’t DIY. Treat early. Stay safe.

Happy fathers day to all the dads out there and a special mention to those working this fathers day!!
We didn't have any work planned and I was helping my eldest move in to a new home when we were tagged in a post for a wasps nest in a garden...
We were so glad we went as this was a lovely young family with little kiddies. It was obvious they are a family who encourage outdoor play and quality family time, I could see the football nets, rugby balls, all sorts of outdoor play items in the garden.
However that all came to a stop when a wasps nest was found in the grass border, stopping this little Latics supporter from playing out!!
We jumped at the chance to get this little lad back out there on the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey otherwise known as the back garden⚽️⚽️...... scoring the winner to raise the world cup for England!!⚽️⚽️🏆🙌

Final score in todays match was
