What Does a Wasp Nest Look Like?

Wasp nests can be easy to miss at first, but knowing what to look for could help you avoid painful stings and an infestation. If you’re in Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Leighton Buzzard, or nearby, here’s how to spot a wasp nest and what to do next.

Identifying a Wasp Nest

A wasp nest is typically:

•  Grey or light brown in colour
•  Made of chewed wood pulp and saliva, giving it a papery appearance
•  Shaped like a round or oval balloon, although it may look flat or tucked away in a corner
•  About the size of a tennis ball to a football, depending on the time of year

Common Nest Locations in Homes and Gardens

In the Milton Keynes area, we commonly find nests in:

•  Loft spaces and roof eaves
•  Wall cavities and air bricks
•  Sheds, garages and garden decking
•  Trees, bushes, or under roof tiles

Is It Dangerous?

Yes — especially if disturbed. Wasps can become aggressive and swarm if their nest is threatened. If anyone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, this can become a medical emergency.
