Wasp Nest Removal in Dalkeith Kids Play Hut – Safe & Fast Midlothian Wasp Control
At Saltire Pest Control, we were recently called out for an urgent wasp nest removal in Dalkeith, Midlothian. A concerned homeowner contacted us after someone was stung near a child’s wooden play hut in the garden. Upon inspection, we discovered an active wasp nest attached to the ceiling inside the hut—an especially risky location given the potential danger to children and pets.
First Wasp Nest of the Season with Larvae
This was the first wasp nest of the season we treated that already had worker wasps and a visible brood. The nest was full of larvae, which would soon hatch into worker wasps, increasing the size of the colony significantly. Catching the infestation early was key to preventing further spread and risk.
Wasp Nest Treatment and Safe Removal
We carried out a swift wasp nest treatment using a professional-grade insecticidal spray, which quickly neutralised the nest. Once we confirmed the wasps were inactive, the nest was carefully removed and safely disposed of. The entire process took under an hour, with minimal disruption to the property.
