PM Department Battles Paper Wasps

A tenant fresh out from England complained of wasps in the garage. Our PM department investigated and identified them as Paper Wasps. If you look them up on the internet it says “They are 10-15 millimetres long, tan in colour with darker bands and some yellow on the face.” Check that against the yellow faces in this pic I took of the ones in the garage. The internet says “They have a painful sting and will attack if their nest is disturbed”. Asking a specialist, we were advised to spray them at night when they are asleep, with mortein or any other common insect spray. The tenant was reluctant to do this, so our PM person went round and did it for them. All part of our service.
