Nest removalcoming soonHow to tell the nest is in the wall
You can't see a nest in a wall, but the wasps' movement gives it away.
Wasps fly in and out through one gap in the facade, by a window frame or under the sill.
When it's quiet, you can hear buzzing or scratching by the wall.
In insulated houses wasps often build the nest inside the insulation layer.
If wasps appear in the room, they may be coming from the nest through the ventilation or gaps.
What not to do
These mistakes can make the problem bigger.
The wasps can chew a new way out, including towards the room.
Drilling angers the wasps and can damage the wall or insulation.
By late summer the nest is bigger and the wasps more aggressive.

Will the wall need to be opened?
Usually not. We treat the nest through the entrance the wasps use.
When can the gap be closed?
Only once the wasps stop flying, usually after a few days.
Will the nest in the wall rot?
An empty nest dries out and doesn't smell. The wasps won't use it again next year.
