A before and after photo of a wasp nest in a bird box. The small space of the bird box contained hundreds and hundreds of wasps.
Wasps in Chimney Planter
Fascia Strips Let Wasps In
Pest Control Liverpool, Wirral, Warrington and Chester.
A badly fitted bit of fascia stripping has let wasps in. The lower strip breather gaps are to small for a queen wasp to pass through and make a nest. However when it isn’t pushed in properly they can get in. You can see the wasps by the very end gap on the corner (quite hard to make out in the photo). The customer in this instance had blocked the hole with a piece of wood with tacks, gaffered to a 4 metre pole. This didn’t have the desired effect and only made them angry!!
Old Queen New Nest?

So I thought the nest the other day was active…check out this monster in Willaston, Wirral. The nest was almost fully exposed which is fairly unusually for this country. I treated one just as large last year at the same house in mid November when the new owners moved in.
It actually makes it interesting because the nest last year was treated at the end of November when the queen and new queens will have already left to hibernate. This nest could very possibly be the old queen or a new queen from the old nest.
