What to Do If You Find a Wasps Nest
A wasps nest might be hidden in a roof void, loft, wall cavity, shed, bush, or even underground. You may notice:
• Wasps entering and exiting the same spot repeatedly
• Buzzing or humming sounds in walls or ceilings
• A paper-like nest structure in your loft or garden
Do not attempt to remove a wasps nest yourself. Wasps can become highly aggressive when disturbed, especially later in the season when nests are larger and food is scarce.
Professional wasp nest removal ensures the job is done safely, using the correct protective clothing and chemical treatments.
Are Wasp Stings Dangerous?
Most wasp stings cause mild symptoms like pain, swelling, and redness around the sting site. This usually settles within 24 hours and can be treated with over-the-counter antihistamine creams.
However, some people suffer severe allergic reactions. Symptoms that need urgent medical attention include:
• Difficulty breathing or chest pain
• Swelling in the face, mouth, or throat
• Dizziness or fainting
• A large reaction area (over 10 inches)
If you or someone else shows these signs after a sting, seek emergency help immediately.

- The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) is the most frequently encountered species in the UK.
- Adult worker wasps are around 12–16mm long. Queen wasps are larger, up to 20mm.
- Wasps nests are built from chewed wood mixed with saliva. They feel like paper mache and can grow large — some may house over 10,000 wasps by late summer.
- In some parts of the UK, wasps are nicknamed “jaspers” — possibly linked to their Latin name, Vespa.
- A typical wasp colony only lasts one season. As winter arrives, most of the colony dies off, leaving only the fertilised queen to survive in a sheltered spot until spring.
