Pest control team gear up for peak wasp season

Posted onPosted on 14th Jul

Ashfield District Council’s pest control team is gearing up for a busy wasp season this summer.

Every year the pest control service carries out over 400 wasp treatments in Ashfield and Mansfield, with over 250 of these coming in July and August.

In anticipation of this, Ashfield District Council chief executive Carol Cooper-Smith recently joined the team to learn the ropes.

Following her busy morning with the team, Carol said: “Wasps can be a real menace; getting rid of them is a difficult job and needs to be done using an expert.

“Our pest control team has all of the proper equipment needed to get rid of pests and their customer care is excellent. They have loads of information and advice to offer to people to prevent reoccurrences and will always go the extra mile to help our customers.”

The team is a Which Trusted Trader and is also available to book in the Mansfield area.

A single spray treatment is usually sufficient to control wasp nests. Once a treatment has been made it is advised not to go near to the nest for several hours after the treatment.

The team prefers not to treat bees and will only do so if there is no other alternative. It is recommended that people contact a bee keeper to remove bees in the first instance.
