Don't panic. And don't try to remove it yourself.
FOUND A NEST?
Wasp and hornet nests become a real nuisance when they're close to your home, garden, workplace or areas where people regularly pass. Trying to disturb or remove an active nest yourself can increase the risk of stings.
Our approach is simple: inspect the situation, identify the nest and treat it appropriately. We'll then give you clear advice on what to expect and what (if anything) you should do afterwards.
