Over the past week we have dealt with a variety of pests around Reading including Tilehurst, Caversham and Woodley. We started the week by checking up on a couple of ongoing rat jobs to ensure they were progressing as planned. We installed temporary proofing at one home, this will be replaced with a permanent proofing solution once we have confirmed this is the entry point. 

Ever wondered what the inside of a wasp nest looks like? 

 

Wasps start building their nest in the spring, as the colony grows the nest grows alongside it. The nests are made from wood pulp, gathered from trees, fences and even cardboard. The workers collect the wood and mix it with saliva to enable them to build the nest. 

This nest was found within a bike shed at a block of flats in Arborfield, was extremely active and was removed a couple of days after treatment. 

 

At the bottom of the page is a short video of the nest and the clean up/ removal of the nest.
