5 Warning Signs You Have a Wasp Nest on Your Property

 

Spotting a wasp nest early can save you time, money, and stress. At ERD Pest Control Bedfordshire, we help homeowners and businesses identify the key signs that a nest is forming – and offer safe, effective wasp nest removal services for just £70.

1. Increased Wasp Activity

If you’re noticing more wasps than usual buzzing around a specific area of your property – such as near a shed, roof, or hole in the wall – there may be a nest nearby.

2. A Steady Flow of Wasps Entering a Single Spot

Watch for a trail of wasps repeatedly entering and exiting one particular gap or crack. This is often the entry point to an active nest.

3. A Buzzing or Scratching Noise

Wasp nests inside walls or lofts often make an audible humming or scratching noise, especially at dusk or in the heat of the day.

4. Visible Nest Structure

Some nests are easy to spot – they look like paper-like balls or large grey mounds in lofts, sheds, or under eaves.

5. Aggressive Wasps Near Entryways

Wasps become more territorial when they’re protecting a nest. If you notice aggression near doors, windows, or garden areas, it could be a warning sign.

If you see any of these signs, contact us now to book your £70 wasp nest treatment anywhere in Bedfordshire.
