That Buzzing Isn’t in Your Head: What to Do When Wasps Move In

It starts with one. A lone wasp buzzing around your kitchen window. You swat it away and think nothing of it — maybe it flew in by accident. But then you see another. And another. Before you know it, it feels like you’re hosting a wasp convention.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

At We Are Manchester Pest Control, we get calls like this all the time. One wasp is annoying. A whole swarm? That’s a problem.

So, Why Are Wasps Targeting Your Home?

Wasps are clever little things. They love a warm, sheltered spot to build their nests — think lofts, roof spaces, sheds, and even wall cavities. And once they’ve moved in, they don’t plan on leaving quietly.

They’re also food-focused. Crumbs on the counter, sugary drinks left outside, uncovered bins – all of these can attract wasps in droves. What starts as a minor irritation can quickly turn into a full-scale infestation.

“Can I Deal With It Myself?”

Short answer? Please don’t.

DIY wasp nest removal can be risky. Wasps are territorial and will attack if they feel threatened. A single sting hurts, but multiple stings can be dangerous – especially if anyone in your household has allergies.

This is one job best left to the pros.
