10 Steps on How NOT To Treat A Wasp Problem
1. Never underestimate what several hundred (or even 1000′s) of angry wasps are capable of.
2. Never attempt to treat a wasp nest without adequate personal protection.
3. Never attempt to treat a wasp nest unless you are 100% sure your chosen means of attack treatment is capable of dealing with the size of nest in question.
4. Never attempt treating wasp nests from inside a loft or roof space without completing a suitable risk assessment. Roof voids or lofts can present all sorts of additional hazards. Falling through the ceiling being just one of them!
5. Never attempt treating a wasp nest from a ladder without being suitably equipped and prepared. Always seek assistance from a friend or neighbour and ensure they too are suitably protected.
6. Never attempt to treat a wasp nest during the hours of daylight
7. Never attempt to treat a wasp problem of any sort if it is likely to put others in danger
8. Never attempt a wasp treatment if you are susceptible to severe reaction to wasp stings or anaphylactic shock.
9. Never, ever block off the entrance to a wasp nest, especially in the home as this could have disastrous if not fatal results.
10. Never compromise safety. If in doubt call a professional with all the training, expertise and safety procedures in place. Get the job done well but above all get the job done safely.
