Are Wasps Dangerous? Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Nest in Berkshire
Wasps may seem like a minor nuisance at first, but a nest near your home or business can quickly become a serious threat. At Pest Services Berkshire, we’re often called in after someone has been stung—or worse. If you suspect wasps are nesting nearby, don’t ignore the problem. Swift wasp nest removal in Berkshire is vital for your safety.
Why Wasps Are a Serious Risk
- Aggressive Defenders: Wasps become hostile when they feel their nest is threatened. They will swarm and sting multiple times.
- Allergic Reactions: Some people experience severe allergic reactions to wasp stings, including anaphylaxis—a medical emergency.
- Property Risks: Nests in lofts, wall cavities, or under roof tiles can cause damage over time if not treated professionally.
- Recurring Nests: If not fully removed or treated, wasps may return to the same location year after year.
