Wasp Damage Uncovering the uncomfortable and expensive truth! Using some clever photography and imaging, we have been able to show you what lies beneath the surface of your walls and ceilings when wasps are building a nest.

We discover all sorts of strange insects while carrying out our Bristol pest control services, especially in the warmer months of the year when insects are abundant. Wasps might seem like the worst possible insect to upset, but it would appear that this parasite hitches a ride to the nest on the back of the adult wasps as a larva!
