Wasps can be a real nuisance in and around our gardens and, of course, offer the threat of a painful sting and real danger to those people who have an allergy to the sting.

Individual wasps are bad enough, but the real problem lies with wasps nests. These can be built in soil banks below ground, in hollow trees or, worst of all, in the roof spaces and cavities of our homes.

Nests start off about the size of a golf ball, but can grow to be bigger than a rugby ball and can contain up to 5000 wasps. Wasp nests need to be dealt with and Nippon provides safe and effective solutions.

Wasp Nest Powder, supplied in a puffer spray, is a proven answer. The powder should be applied generously right into the nest where possible. Alternatively piles of the powder can be positioned as close to the nest entrance as possible.

Use the powder in the evening or on dull, cooler days, when wasp activity is minimal. Take care not to disturb the colony and do not return to the nest until all wasp activity has ceased.

The powder, supplied in a 300g pack, contains Permethrin.

Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
