Wasp Control Headless Cross
Local wasp nest treatment without overcomplicating it
If you are seeing wasps flying in and out of the same point in Headless Cross, there may be an active nest nearby. It could be in a roof void, wall cavity, shed, garage, hedge, loft space, garden bank or behind fascia boards.
The nest does not always have to be visible. What matters most is the entry point, how close the activity is to people, and whether it is affecting doors, windows, gardens, pets, tenants, staff or customers.
STP Wasp Control covers Headless Cross and nearby Redditch areas. The advice is kept simple: do not block the entrance, do not knock the nest, and do not spray it if the wasps are active.

Practical treatment
The technician looks for the safest place to treat the active nest, usually from the entry point.
Plain aftercare
You will be told what to expect afterwards and when the wasp activity should start reducing.
Important Advice
Do not block the hole before treatment
Blocking the entry point can make wasps search for another way out. In some cases they can come through into the house, garage, loft or workplace. Leave the entry point alone until the nest has been treated.
Wasp or Bee?
Check what you have before disturbing it
From a distance it can be hard to tell the difference. The advice is different for honey bees, so it is better to ask if you are unsure.
BeesOften duller, rounder and furry
Bees can look rounder and slightly furry. Honey bees should not be destroyed. If you are not sure, keep clear and ask for advice before doing anything.
Common Headless Cross Callouts
Where wasp nests are normally found
Most callouts start with repeated wasp traffic. The nest may be tucked away and not obvious from the outside.
Rooflines and walls
Wasps entering under tiles, fascia boards, soffits, vents, air bricks, cracks, pipe gaps or old mortar joints.
Sheds and gardens
Nests can be found around sheds, garages, hedges, fence lines, garden furniture, compost areas and play areas.
Landlords and businesses
Wasps near entrances, communal areas, staff doors, yards, shops, rentals and customer spaces need dealing with properly.
Headless Cross Area
Wasp control for local homes, rentals and premises
Headless Cross has a mix of older homes, family properties, gardens, small businesses and local premises. Wasps can become a problem when a nest is close to everyday access routes such as front doors, side paths, gardens, garages or work areas.
You do not need to find the whole nest. In many cases it is safer to identify where the wasps are entering and leave the rest to a technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Headless Cross wasp nest removal FAQ's
Do you remove the nest?
We can do if the nest is visible and safe to remove, but most nests are hidden in places such as wall cavities, loft spaces, roof voids or between floors. We normally treat the nest first and only discuss removal afterwards if needed.
How long does it take for the nest to die after treatment?
You may see extra activity for the first few hours. Many nests settle within 24 hours, but it is sensible to allow up to 48 hours as some wasps may still return to the treated area.
What happens if we are still seeing wasps?
If it is the same nest and the same entry point, call us back for advice. We can talk through what is happening and arrange a re-treatment where appropriate.
Will the same nest come back next year?
Old wasp nests are not normally reused. A new queen could start a separate nest the following season, but the old treated nest itself should not be reoccupied.
Can you kill bees?
We cannot kill honey bees. If you are unsure whether you have bees or wasps, ask before disturbing the area.
