The annoying wasp season is almost with us once more, what would summer be without our old friends the wasps to pester us as we enjoy our evening barbeques?

The biology of the wasp means they are rarely seen much before July as until then only the wasp queen is in the nest.

In late March or early April the over-wintering queens leave their hibernating sites to find nesting places which could be in a hole in the ground, a hollow tree or artificial structures such as chimneys eaves, lofts and attics, garden sheds etc.

The new queen starts to construct her nest with a papery material that she makes by chewing small pieces of wood mixed with saliva; this is called Wasp paper.

She will raise the first few workers by herself and those workers will then carry on the building of the nest and feeding the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest building starts in earnest in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be in the nest. These workers will gather food up to 400 metres from the nest. The size of wasp colonies will vary from year to year, the severity of the previous winter is probably the main factor.

In the mid-September the newly produced queens mate and leave the nest to hibernate, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never used again.

Individuals react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, while others endure considerable pain and discomfort and a few become seriously allergic to being stung, which in some cases results in sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.
Control
It is advisable to let a professional Pest Controller deal with a Wasps’ nest for the reasons stated above. An insecticide will be injected into the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the centre of the nest and within a few hours all wasps should be dead.

It is foolish to allow a wasps’ nest to go full term as the resultant queens produced by the nest will invariably nest nearby in the following spring resulting in many more nests the following year. For this reason several nests are often found clustered together in an area a locality.

Pest Control in Blackpool & Other Seaside Holiday Resorts

Pest Control in Blackpool & Other Seaside Holiday Resorts

Seaside pest control brings its own set of special circumstances which sometimes require a different approach to more inland towns.

Firstly the very logistics of working in a busy seaside holiday resort can be problematic, even the basics of parking your van near the customers’ premises can be difficult especially when equipment needs to be carried. This can lead to increased charges which have to be passed onto the customer.

In summer premises are often open seven days a week and even twenty-four hours a day thus leaving little opportunity for the pest controller to go about his work.

This may not cause too much difficulty in routine preventative inspection visits but can cause extreme problems when infestation is detected in that often pesticides require premises to be vacated for a period of time.

In winter the opposite situation may occur where premises are closed for several months leaving a pest infestation to develop undetected.

Seaside holiday resorts usually have a large number of takeaways providing food to eat on the go and often will be littered overnight with uneaten food scraps providing food for rats and seagulls.

Often daily waste collections mean that bagged food waste is put outside overnight thus encouraging rodents.

Seagulls are obviously a nuisance with their noise and fouling but often will take food stuffs up onto roofs and ledges causing a build up of rotten materials which produce flies and maggots.

Perhaps the most difficult aspect of seaside pest control is the resurgence of the bed bug which in recent years has seen numbers rise exponentially.

A high transient population of holiday makers often staying in inexpensive, high turnover accommodation means that the bugs can spread quickly throughout a resort and even expensive upmarket establishments are not exempt.

The very nature of a bed bug infestation means that it is difficult and expensive to cure and news of infestation is often of interest to local press who will often carry a story about a guest being bitten, thus ruining the reputation of the establishment.

Bed bug infestations require that the infested bedroom and those adjacent be treated thus losing revenue for the establishment.

A hotel or guest house could also find themselves liable for the cost of dealing with an infestation at the homes of their guests as the bugs are easily transported in luggage.
