Wasps:
Wasps is the name given to any insect that belongs to the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is not a bee or an ant. The types of wasps that we commonly associate as being pests can be identified by their two pairs of wings, stinger at the rear abdomen, (the stinger is only present in female wasps), there is very little hair on wasps, and finally many wasps are brightly coloured featuring markings such as black and yellow or black and orange stripes. Whilst wasps are critically important to the ecosystem and natural environment (they are predators or parasites of other pest species) they can prove to be a nusance when they enter homes, sheds, summerhouses and other structures.
We stock a variety of products perfect for dealing with wasps, the best way to prevent them entering your home is using our Easy-fit door fly screen or Easy-Fit Window Fly Screen. These are easy to install and allow air to circulate freely whilst keeping wasps, bees and other insects out. If wasps make a nest on your premises steps can be taken to neutralise it; the Wasp Nest Killer Powder is a puffer pac that can be used to knock out a number of wasps nests through direct application. The best time to use this product to tackle wasps is in the evening time, after it has been applied the wasps nest will die out over the next few days.
Bees:
Bees are flying insects that are very closely related to wasps and ants. There are almost 20,000 species of bees that exist across nine recognised families and exist on every continent apart from Antarctica. Every single species of bees pollinate flowering plants. Bees are harder to identify as they vary in shape, and size quite dramatically, however the majority of pest types of bees in the United Kingdom can be described as wasp-like in appearance with more subdued colours and a hair covered body. Bees can be both solitary and communal, living either in a solitary nest constructed by each and every female of the species or in nests and hives with other bees working together as a colony.
Bees can be prevented from entering the home using our Easy-fit door fly screen or Easy-Fit Window Fly Screen, however should direct action against the bees be required Protector C Trigger Spray will do the job, it can be applied directly to any bees and flying insects and is completely harmless to humans and mammals. At Pest Control Products UK we also stock the Fortefog P Mini Fumer, Fortefog Space and Surface Spray, PreVent Personal Insect Repellent and ProControl Flying Insect Killer all of which are effective against insects such as bees.
