Let’s go inside!

Following the treatment of a particularly troublesome wasp nest last year, the owners of the roof space where the wasps chose to make their 2023 home were thrilled when I offered to remove it and take it away.  The reason? To open it up and take a look inside after treatment with the Kerminator^® Wasp Lance.

When I was called out to treat the nest in late August, I found it securely attached to the rafters up in the attic of the house.  It had grown to such a size that its winged inhabitants were starting to explore other areas of the house, and when the owner was stung by a wasp who had crawled into a pair of her slippers, it was decided that the colony had very much outstayed its welcome.  So they called me!

When I went up into the roof space, I could see the nest in its entirety. This meant that I was able to use the bevelled edge of the flexible end tube of the Kerminator^® to pierce the side of the nest and expel a full cartridge of insecticide directly into the centre.  48 hours later the nest was dead, and I brought it home to open it up. On closer inspection, I could clearly see the indent left by where it had been attached to the rafter.  The view on inside however, served as a great example of the Kerminator^® doing what it does best – targeting a measured dose of insecticide right where its needed, with minimal spillage and secondary contamination.  Watch this short film, to see inside the nest…
