Atherstone in North Warwickshire is where a game called ‘Shrovetide Ball’ has been played annually every Shrove Tuesday for over 800 years, since the reign of King John in the 12th century! The game in which hundreds of people take part is a complete free-for-all played along the old Roman road of Watling Street in Atherstone town centre. Traditionally the ball is decorated with red, white and blue ribbons and is made of thick leather to make it too heavy to kick very far. The match always starts at 3:00pm when the ball is ‘thrown out’ from the window of Barclays Bank by a sporting or show business personality and lasts for around 2 hours. There are no official teams though the match is usually played between teams from Warwickshire, including Mancetter and Leicestershire, including Witherley, Fenny Drayton and Sheepy Magna. In modern times there is now only one rule: players are not allowed to kill each other! No goals are scored but the person who has ball at the end of the match wins for his team and also keeps the ball. With a moderate climate of cool winters and mild to warm summers the area provides perfect conditions for pests such as wasps, bees and hornets to thrive. Wasps are a painful nuisance, especially when you are enjoying a barbecue on a lovely summers day, and here at Direct Pest we are constantly being asked ‘How to get rid of wasps nests or a bee’s nest?’ or ‘How to kill wasps?’.
Well the simplest, most cost effective, and more importantly the safest way is to call out an expert to deal with your wasp infestation! We cannot advise strongly enough that choosing to deal with a wasp nest yourself by using ‘off the shelf’ wasp killer or wasp repellent is a highly dangerous activity, with one guaranteed outcome, if you attack a wasps nest, they will attack you! A wasp nest can vary in size from that of a football up to about a metre across, and will grow very quickly, and even an average sized nest can contain up to 20,000 wasps! A single sting by one wasp is a painful experience and can be very upsetting for children. But wasps can sting a person multiple times and some people, around 10%, can have adverse reactions to stings, an allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis which in extreme cases can be fatal.
To effectively deal with your infestation by getting rid of the wasps you do not need to remove the actual nest, this will disintegrate naturally once the parasitic wasps inside have been dealt with. At Direct Pest we use a synthetic plant sterol to solve the problem of your wasp nest. This product is not available to you or I as it contains 60% permethrin, whereas the solutions available in the shops are only 0.5% to 1% permethrin.. All of our pest controllers are RSPH level 2 or above in Pest Management, and so are extremely experienced and well equipped to provide a speedy solution to your wasp problem, whether in your house, garden or business premises.
