Whether you’ve discovered a nest in your loft, garage, shed, cavity wall or garden, our experienced technicians can safely locate, treat and remove the problem.

Signs You May Have a Wasp Nest

Wasps become most active between late spring and early autumn. Spotting the early signs of a nest can help you deal with the problem before it grows larger.

Common signs include:

• Large numbers of wasps regularly flying around your property
• Wasps entering and leaving the same hole, roofline or wall cavity
• A visible nest in a loft, shed, garage, hedge or tree
• Buzzing sounds coming from lofts, wall cavities or roof spaces
• Increased wasp activity around bins, outdoor eating areas or sugary foods
• Frequent sightings of wasps inside your home or workplace

 

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, arranging professional wasp control as soon as possible is the safest way to deal with the infestation.

Why Are Wasps a Serious Problem?

Although wasps play an important role in the ecosystem, they can become a significant hazard when they build nests close to people.

A wasp infestation can:

• Put family members, employees and visitors at risk of painful stings
• Be particularly dangerous for anyone with a wasp sting allergy
• Prevent you from safely enjoying your garden or outdoor seating areas
• Create a nuisance for customers at cafés, pubs and restaurants
• Lead to larger colonies as the nest develops throughout the summer
• Become increasingly aggressive if the nest is disturbed

Professional treatment is the safest and most effective way to eliminate a wasp nest while minimising the risk of stings.

Our Wasp Nest Removal Process

Every wasp infestation is different, which is why we tailor our treatment to the nest location, species and level of activity.

Thorough Inspection

We begin by locating the nest, assessing access and confirming the level of wasp activity before recommending the most effective treatment.

Professional Treatment

Using professional-grade insecticides and specialist equipment, we safely treat the nest to eliminate the colony quickly and effectively.

 

Advice to Prevent Further Problems

Once treatment is complete, we’ll advise on any maintenance or proofing measures that may help reduce the likelihood of future nests around your property.

Follow-Up Visits

Most wasp nests are successfully treated in a single visit. However, if further activity is identified, we’ll advise whether additional treatment is required.

Where Do Wasps Build Nests?

Wasps often choose sheltered, undisturbed locations that provide protection from the weather.

Common nesting sites include:

• Lofts and roof spaces
• Wall cavities
• Garages and sheds
• Under roof tiles and soffits
• Air bricks and vents
• Garden hedges and trees
• Bird boxes
• Under decking and outdoor structures

Identifying the exact nest location is essential to ensure effective treatment.

Wasp Prevention Tips

While it’s impossible to prevent every wasp nest, there are several ways to make your property less attractive to nesting queens

Seal Gaps

Seal gaps around soffits, rooflines and external walls.

Repair

Repair damaged vents and air bricks.

Secure Bins

Keep bins tightly closed.

Remove Fruit

 Remove fallen fruit from gardens.

Cover Foods

Cover sugary food and drinks when eating outdoors.

Seasonal Checks

Regularly inspect lofts, sheds and garages during spring.

Contact

Arrange professional treatment as soon as you notice wasp activity.

Taking action early can help prevent a small nest becoming a much larger problem later in the season.
