Oadby is a small town in Leicestershire, five miles south east of Leicester city centre and has Stoughton, Stretton Hall, Great Stretton & Little Stretton nearby. Leicester Racecourse and the University of Leicester including its Botanical Garden is also in the vicinity. Oadby remained a small settlement until the late 19th century when it became a fashionable suburb for the businessmen of Leicester and many substantial houses were built in the area. One famous inhabitant of Oadby was John Richard Deacon, born in 1951, and though now retired is best known as the bass guitarist for the rock band Queen.

John Deacon was born in Leicester, but his family moved to Oadby in 1960, where he first played bass in a local band, The Opposition, before moving to study electronics at Chelsea College, London. He became Queen’s bass player in 1971, because of his quiet demeanour and electronic skills, particularly the home-made Deacy Amp which guitarist Brian May used to create guitar orchestras throughout the band’s career. As well as his musical skills including bass, rhythm guitar and keyboards Deacon also considered songwriting to be of equal importance, and he wrote at least one song per album, several of which became hits. His song ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ became the group’s best selling single in the US. Following frontman Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, and the following year’s Tribute Concert, Deacon only performed a few times with the remaining members of Queen before retiring from the music industry in 1997.

With a moderate climate of cool winters and mild to warm summers Oadby and the surrounding 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.
