Wasps are one of the most common seasonal pests that Dublin homeowners and businesses encounter each summer. What starts as a few buzzing insects around the garden can quickly become a serious hazard when there’s a nest nearby.
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, and they’ll aggressively defend their nests if disturbed. That’s why DIY attempts — spraying wasps with general-purpose products or blocking suspected entry points — often make the problem worse. Disturbing a nest without proper knowledge and protective gear can lead to mass swarming and multiple stings, which are dangerous, especially for children, pets, and anyone with allergies.
If wasps are nesting near living spaces, in roof voids, or around frequently used areas of a property, it’s usually best to get professional help. City Pest Control has extensive experience managing wasp infestations safely and effectively.
