Treatment for Wasps

The treatment of Wasps will be carried out using a residual powder based spray which is injected directly into the nest or to the entry point eg under tiles/fascia hole in wall/ground etc. This powder is picked up on the wasp’s body as it returns, and is then carried back into the nest. Wasps inside the nest come into contact with the returning insects and the dust is past to each other. A single Treatment will kill every adult within the nest including the queen. Treatment usually takes 1-2 days to be 100% effective. Removal of the nest is not required, as the wasps never use the same nest twice.

There are no benefits of removing old or treated nests.

The chemical, Ficam D (contains Bendiocarb), provides residual control that will last for approx 4 weeks depending on weather conditions outside. Wasps choose the site because it is a good location as the property remains a good location year in year out, future queens may also build there.

Unfortunately, not much can be done to prevent wasps choosing your property.
