Identifying a Wasp Nest in Buckinghamshire

If you’re hearing a constant buzzing, spotting more wasps around your home, or seeing an unusual papery structure in your shed or loft — you might have a wasp nest. At Milton Keynes Pest Controller, we help residents across Buckinghamshire quickly and safely identify and remove wasp nests in areas such as Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, and Aylesbury.

What Does a Wasp Nest Look Like?

Wasp nests are made from chewed wood mixed with saliva, giving them a papery, grey appearance. They often resemble a round or teardrop-shaped ball and can start small (tennis-ball size) but grow rapidly — some reaching the size of a football or larger by late summer.

Common Places Wasps Build Nests

Wasps prefer quiet, sheltered spaces to build their nests. Across homes and businesses in Buckinghamshire, we often find nests in:

Lofts and attic spaces
Sheds and garages
Wall cavities and roof eaves
Air vents and under decking
Tree branches and garden bushes

Signs You Have a Wasp Nest

Increased wasp activity around a particular area
Visible papery nest structure
Buzzing sounds coming from inside walls or roofs
Wasps entering and exiting holes in brickwork or wood

If you notice any of these signs in Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, Bletchley or nearby, contact us for safe and professional wasp removal.

Don’t Try to Remove It Yourself

Wasps can become highly aggressive if disturbed. If you are allergic to wasp stings or have young children or pets, it’s essential to avoid contact and let professionals handle the nest. When you contact us, please mention any allergies so we can prioritise your appointment.
