Redditch Wasp Control
Local wasp nest removal and wasp control solutions for homes, gardens, landlords and businesses across Redditch and nearby areas.
Wasp Control Redditch
STP Wasp Control helps with active wasp nests across Redditch, including residential properties, gardens, sheds, rooflines, garages, landlords, shops, small businesses and commercial premises.
Most customers first notice wasps repeatedly flying in and out of one small entry point. The nest may be hidden inside a roof space, wall cavity, shed, garage, hedge, loft void or under tiles, so you do not always need to see the nest itself.
Do not block the hole or disturb the area before treatment. Wasps can become more defensive, and blocking the entrance can force them to find another route, sometimes into the building.
Use 01527 352 139 for Redditch wasp control enquiries.
We focus on the entry point, who may be affected and the safest practical treatment route.
You will be told what to expect after treatment and when activity should start to reduce.
Important Advice
If wasps are active near a doorway, garden seating area, roofline, tenant space, customer entrance, staff door or children’s play area, keep clear and call for advice. Trying to treat a live nest yourself can make the situation more difficult.
Wasp or Bee?
The correct advice depends on what is present. If you are unsure, keep clear of the activity and describe what you can see when you call.
Wasps tend to fly in a more direct, straight line and can move quickly around the entry point. If they are repeatedly using the same gap, roofline, shed or wall opening, there may be an active nest nearby.
Wasps are usually bright in colour and smooth. Bees are often duller, slightly furry and rounder in shape. Sometimes you may need a trained eye to tell them apart from a safe distance.
Common Redditch Callouts
Every property is different, but most Redditch callouts fall into a few common areas. The important detail is where the wasps are entering and leaving.
Activity around soffits, fascia boards, roof tiles, gutter lines, air bricks, vents, mortar gaps and loft spaces.
Wasps can nest near sheds, garages, fence panels, bushes, compost areas, patios, play areas and garden seating.
Nests near staff doors, customer entrances, yards, rentals, communal areas or public-facing spaces can disrupt normal use quickly.

Treatment Process
The aim is to treat the active nest safely. The nest is often treated from the entry point rather than removed while live, especially when it is hidden in a wall cavity, roof space or between floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
We can do if you can see it, but most nests are hidden in places such as wall cavities, roof spaces or between floors. We will not remove the nest while it is still active because it can be dangerous for the technician and the customer. We normally treat the nest from an external point first. If you want visible nest removal afterwards, this can be discussed at a later date at an additional cost.
For the first 2 to 3 hours you may see more activity, so it is best to keep nearby windows closed. In general, wasp nests are dead within 24 hours, but we say allow up to 48 hours as there may be a few stray wasps still returning.
As long as it is the same nest in the same area, call us back for advice. We guarantee our work and can arrange a re-treatment where appropriate.
Wasps are only active for one season and start dying off in autumn. Once the nest is dead, wasps will not re-occupy that old nest. New queens may hibernate and start a separate nest the following season.
We cannot kill honey bees. Honey bees can look similar to wasps but are usually not as bright and can look a little furry. If you have honey bees, it is best to contact a beekeeper as we may not be able to help.

As the nest grows, wasp activity can become harder to live with and may begin affecting doors, gardens, customers, tenants, staff or family members.
