If you have been stung by a wasp in your property or surroundings, you may have a wasps nest nearby. Wasps can become dangerous if they feel threatened and they will become aggressive.
We do not recommend DIY removals of wasps nests as wasps can be a very aggressive insect and will react if they feel their nest could be in danger.
