Wasps have the potential to attack in large numbers if their nest is disturbed.

Wasps live in colonies and build nests in roofs or wall cavities. They are social insects and can often be very aggressive. Wasps usually build their nests in garages, sheds, walls or roofs. There are numerous species of wasps and all of them post some kind of risk, particularly if you are allergic to them. Since they are persistent pests, it is important to act promptly so as to get rid of the infestation as soon as possible. But first, to confirm if there is an wasp infestation in your property, look for these signs:

• If you start to see open and exposed nests that resemble an upside down umbrella in the corners of your property, then there might be paper wasps infesting your property.
• You may notice a large group of insects with distinct yellow/black bands around their abdomen hovering around your property. This might mean that wasps are infesting your property.
• Certain species of wasps build their nests by chewing wood. When you begin to notice holes appearing in wooden surfaces of your property, it is possible wasps are chewing all the wood. 

To confirm if there is an infestation of wasps in your property, contact Tip Top Services for inspection in your property and effective wasp treatment service.

Wasps, like bees and hornets, have a stinger for self-defense. The only difference is that a wasp stinger contains a poisonous substance which can be transmitted to humans during a sting. If someone is allergic to the stings, then it can be a life-threatening situation for them. Wasps can also get inside your property through openings and this might prove to be dangerous for humans, especially younger ones. These are some of the consequences that wasps can cause:

• Most people develop a raised scar around the sting area. Although this sting isn’t fatal, it is really painful and can be irritating.
• Wasps that nest inside your property may cause damage to the wooden structures like wallboard or furniture. Also, other pests may be attracted to the wasp nests inside your property and you might have double infestation in your hand.
• The most extreme cases of wasp sting might be anaphylaxis, which is a dangerous reaction to the venom of the wasp. This is a serious situation as someone with anaphylaxis might go in shock and have difficulty breathing.
