Frequently Asked Questions
What do wasps look like?
How quickly do wasps multiply?
During the course of a summer the queen will lay up to 100 eggs a day and a nest can house up to 10,000 wasps.
Where do wasps live?
What are the signs of a wasp infestation?
- Unlike bees, wasps are solitary and don’t swarm, so if you’re seeing unusual amounts of wasps, this means you have an infestation or nest nearby.
- Wasps build their nests from strips of wood creating thin white lines along any wooden item in your home or garden.
- At the end of the summer, frenzied workers on the hunt for a sugar fix will attack sweet treats with a vengeance.
- If you are noticing an increase in wasp activity near your home or place of work, keep an eye out for where they go. A worker wasp’s day is taken up by building the nest and feeding larvae, this requires a lot of coming and going from the nest.
Does wasp infestation need controlling?
- A wasp sting is extremely painful and can cause anaphylactic shock to some people. A wasp sting needs medical attention if it occurs near the neck, throat or on the face.
- Wasps can sting more than once.
- Do not swat at wasps as they emit a pheromone signifying to other wasps that they are in danger. Worker wasps will then mobilise and become aggressive.
- Wasp colonies grow rapidly. Destroying a nest, especially during the day, may not solve the infestation as many of the wasps will not be in the nest.
- As the colony dies out in the autumn, the worker wasps become desperate for sugar to stay alive and will head for our kitchens and food stores to satisfy their thirst. They are particularly dangerous at this time.
When can you get here?
At Merlin we completely understand the need for a swift response for pest control issues. We will always speak to you and find the best time for us to attend. If it's an emergency, we would expect to be there the next working day, or if we have the operatives near your business, we would attend the same day, if you could accommodate this. We will always work alongside you to provide the best timings for their visits.
How much does the treatment cost?
What do I have to do?

Yes. We provide either a one, or three-month guarantee depending on the treatment method used. We also guarantee that all work will be carried out by a BPCA certified pest control technician.
