Appearance
You are likely to need wasp control services for your home in the warmer months of the year. There are two common wasps that you will find in the UK: The Common and German wasp. They have a yellow and black body with markings varying from species to species and are usually around 2 cm in length.
They have a narrow but powerful waist, with fore and hind wings linked by minute hooks. Wasps are social insects and have a caste system in which nest construction & maintenance, tending to the young and foraging for food is undertaken by workers. The Queens are responsible for egg-laying following fertilisation by males.
Wasps can be extremely aggressive or agitated if they feel under threat, especially if they feel their nest has been threatened. Wasps belong to the order Hymenoptera which includes some of the most highly evolved insects.
Wasp sting
A sting from one of these insects can be very painful. When summer begins to cool down, wasps become increasingly more irritable due to their ingestion of sweet, fermenting fruit juices. This will increase the likelihood of running into a wasp and receiving a sting.
In the vast majority of cases, a sting is just an unpleasant run-in with a wasp. Unlike bees however, one wasp has the ability to sting more than once, so a run-in could lead to multiple stings. A sting to a sensitive area such as the head or inside of the mouth could be more serious.
In some rare cases, a sting could cause anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal if left without rapid medical treatment. If you are stung, it is important to stay vigilant and observant of your symptoms. If the symptoms become increasingly worse, you should seek medical attention.
However, most of the time, it is unlikely that you will need to seek medical attention and will be able to treat the sting yourself. There is unlikely to be a stinger lodged in the skin as unlike bees, wasps do not dislodge their stinger upon use. You will need to wash the area with soap and warm water and if there is excessive redness, swelling or itching, apply a hydrocortisone cream.
