Wasps
Wasps are an insect which have three body parts, the head, thorax and abdomen.
There are lots of different species the most common are the Common Wasp which are about 12 – 17mm long, bright yellow and black bands along the body, they have two pairs of wings and a long antennae, the sting is located at the bottom of the abdomen.
German wasp which are very similar to the common wasp though it is slightly bigger, also the German Wasp has three small black dots on the face which are the two best ways to tell them apart. Wasp are usually spotted from around April/May to September / October. There are social and solitary wasps. The main wasps that cause a nuisance are social wasps, these are wasps that live in colonies, these colonies can have up to several thousand and are extremely active. Wasps can also sting multiple times.

Paul attended as an urgent call out for us, with having two separate wasps nests, one seeming to be causing issues with our bathroom drains. Sprayed the nests as normal, and then had a look at the drains for us too. Absolutely fantastic workmanship and an all round lovely person, and very helpful and very patient with all our questions. Could not recommend enough!

I wanted to give praise to Craig who attended my property today, 21/05/26 to sort out a issue with wasps.
He has come to my home several times over the last few years and I have always found him to be honest, fair regarding his prices and very pleasant, He is also very respectable regarding my property, for example, he wore coverings over his work boots upon entering my hallway, very rare these days from most trades people.
I have no hesitation in recommending Craig from Arrest Apest Services.

Had Paul from Arrest Apest to deal with something scurrying round our loft and behind the walls in our upstairs rooms.
He replied to my enquiry promptly, advised me of costs and arranged a visit.
Arrived on time and went straight to work, he is very informative and left it clean and tidy. After a further 2 visits our pest problem in our loft was no more.
Coincidentally on the morning of his third visit hornets were coming out of our cooker extractor fan which is located in an old Victorian house fireplace/chimney. Long story short Hornets nest dealt with inside the chimney.
Very reasonable rates and an experienced and personable chap.
Sorry I didnt off you a coffee while you were in the kitchen dealing with the hornets, I wasnt going to turn my back on them.
Thank you, highly recommended.
PS Booked in to have our loft ‘fogged’ to
Kill of cluster flies and wasps/hornets that go there in the winter.

Thank you very much and a company to recommend highly, well worth finding them on the web.
