Wasps & Bees
Wasps, hornets, and honeybees are an integral part of our ecosystem. However, when they build their nests directly on or in buildings, such as in roller shutter boxes, under eaves, or behind facade cladding, it can quickly become a problem. Besides the danger to allergy sufferers, there is also the risk of damage to the building structure and disruption to daily life. In such cases, professional removal is essential.
Characteristics
Wasps are particularly prevalent during the warm summer months and into late summer. Unlike wild bees, which are protected by law, wasps are not a protected species. Many wasp species can react aggressively when threatened. This is especially dangerous for allergy sufferers, and a wasp sting also poses a significant risk to children and the elderly.
Wasps prefer to build their nests in sheltered, hard-to-reach places. Common locations include blind boxes, roller shutter boxes, attics, behind facade cladding, or in building cavities. They like to hide there and often remain undetected until the nest has reached a considerable size. An untreated wasp nest can house several thousand wasps over the course of a summer. Professional removal is therefore not only advisable for structural reasons but can also prevent accidents and allergic reactions. Our specialists analyze the situation on-site, identify the nest, and remove it safely, efficiently, and in an environmentally friendly manner.
Signs of an infestation
A nest is usually only visible when there is an increased presence of animals:
If many wasps gather in the same places or show aggressive defensive reactions, professional removal is advisable.
Frequent landings on windows, gaps in walls or roof overhangs
Visible entry and exit openings in the masonry
Humming noises emanating from spaces between walls or roofs
Visible nests in roller shutter boxes or under roofs
Increased activity in late summer (August/September)
