About Us
Experienced pest control, focused wasp nest advice and practical treatment for homes, landlords and businesses.
Experienced Pest Control
STP Pest Control LTD has been in operation since 2010. The business has been built on practical pest control experience, competent technicians, clear administration and the day-to-day standards needed to run a reliable local service.
This wasp control website keeps the focus simple: active wasp nests, safe treatment, correct advice and clear aftercare. Customers often come to us when wasps start using the same entry point near a roofline, loft, garden, shed, office entrance, customer area or rental property.
We have kept the useful information from the original about page and expanded it with more relevant guidance, so the page explains both who we are and how we approach wasp and bee enquiries.
Original Advice, Improved
The original about page explained the difference between wasps and bees. We have kept that information but made it clearer for customers deciding what to do next.
Wasp species found in the UK include the Common Wasp, German Wasp and the European hornet. They can become a nuisance in the summer months and usually build nests in sheltered places such as eaves, lofts, roof spaces, sheds and wall cavities.
Wasps feed on nectar and insects, but they can become aggressive if the nest is disturbed. If you have a wasp nest on your property, it is best to keep away from the flight path and speak to a professional.
Honey bees and wasps can have a similar appearance, but there are key differences. Honey bees are often rounder and can look slightly furry, while wasps are usually slimmer, smoother and more defined in yellow, black or brown markings.
Honey bees are important pollinators and are normally handled differently to wasps. If you are unsure whether you have bees or wasps, observe from a safe distance and ask for advice before anyone sprays, blocks holes or disturbs the insects.

Wasp Control
Wasp control is necessary when wasps become pests and pose a threat to human health and safety, or when they interfere with outdoor activities and enjoyment. The most effective method of wasp control depends on the type of wasp, where it is entering and how accessible the nest is.
Many nests are hidden inside cavities, roof spaces, sheds or voids. We normally advise customers not to block the entrance before treatment, because this can push wasps further into the property or make the colony more defensive.

How We Work
Most customers do not know exactly where the nest is. That is normal. The repeated entry point is usually the most useful information, and the technician can use that to decide how to approach the treatment.
Useful Customer Advice
Do not spray random products into the hole, seal the entrance, bang on the wall or try to pull a visible nest down. If the colony feels threatened, the wasps can become more active and may move further into the property.
