Read about itNot sure which
If you cannot tell what you have, that is normal
Identification is our job rather than yours, and it is the part that decides everything else. Describe what you have seen, heard or been bitten by, or send a photograph, and we will tell you what it is before anyone comes out.
Occasionally the answer is that you do not need a treatment at all, and we will say so.
Describe what you have seen
A photograph of the insect, the droppings or the damage is usually enough.
Monday to Friday 7.30am–6pm, Saturday 8am–2pm. Urgent wasp work is prioritised.
