Wasps usually look smooth and bright yellow and black. The biggest clue is repeated traffic into the same roof edge, shed, air brick, ground hole or wall gap.

Wasp nest help for Astwood Bank homes and village properties
Astwood Bank has a different feel to the main Redditch estates. You have the Evesham Road through the village, side roads off Sambourne Lane, shops, older homes, larger gardens, outbuildings and countryside edges close by.
That mix can give wasps plenty of quiet places to build a nest. They may use roof gaps, sheds, garages, hedges, wall cavities, loft spaces, garden banks, old timber or gaps behind fascia boards.
STP Wasp Control covers Astwood Bank and nearby Redditch areas. The main thing is to tell us where the wasps are going in, how high it is, and whether it affects a door, path, garden, tenant, shop, child, pet, staff member or customer.

Astwood Bank Advice
Do not block the hole before treatment
Wasps around Astwood Bank properties are often found near rooflines, sheds, old brickwork, garden structures and outbuildings. Blocking a gap with foam, tape, filler or a cloth can send the wasps looking for another route, sometimes into the loft, garage or inside the property.
Wasp or Bee?
Check the activity before assuming it is wasps
Astwood Bank has gardens, hedgerows, trees, orchard-style spaces and green edges. Some insect activity can be bees using flowers rather than wasps nesting in a structure.
Bees can look duller, rounder and furry. Honey bees should not be destroyed, so it is better to ask first if you are unsure.

Astwood Bank FAQ
Astwood Bank wasp nest removal questions
Can you treat wasps in an outbuilding or garden shed?
Yes. Sheds, garages, greenhouses and outbuildings are common places for wasps. Do not start moving stored items near the nest before treatment.
What if the nest is near a public path or shop entrance?
Keep people away from the flight path where possible and call for advice. Tell us if customers, neighbours, children or members of the public use the area.
Do I need to find the whole nest?
No. Many nests are hidden in roof spaces, walls, hedges and sheds. The entry point is often the most useful thing to identify.
How soon should activity reduce after treatment?
Some activity after treatment is normal. It may look busier for a few hours and can take up to 24 to 48 hours to settle properly.
Can I seal the hole afterwards?
Only after activity has fully stopped. Sealing too early can trap wasps and cause them to find another way out.
