Wasp Control Newcastle
Wasps are aggressive defenders of their nests. A single disturbance can trigger multiple stings, and unlike bees, a wasp can sting repeatedly. Paper wasps and European wasps both pose real dangers around homes.

Why wasps becomes a problem
European wasps can build nests of thousands underground or inside wall cavities. They're highly aggressive when disturbed, and stings can cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Paper wasps build open-comb nests under eaves and in shrubs, defending them fiercely.
