When to call about a wasp nest

A nest near a door, a bin store or anywhere children play should be dealt with straight away.

  • A steady stream of wasps coming and going from one point on the building
  • A papery grey nest in the loft, shed or under the eaves
  • Wasps consistently entering under a roof tile, soffit or airbrick
  • Activity around decking, a compost bin or a bank in the garden
  • Wasps inside the house in numbers, particularly upstairs
  • Anyone in the household with a known sting allergy
Wasp nest removal in South London

Never block the entrance to a nest. Wasps will chew through plasterboard to find another way out, which usually means into the room.

How we treat a wasp nest

Straightforward in most cases, but it is a job where the right protective equipment matters.

01

Locate

We find the actual nest, not just the entry point. The two are often several metres apart inside a roof void.

02

Treat

Treatment applied directly to the nest entrance in full protective equipment. The colony is usually dead within a few hours.

03

Check

We confirm activity has stopped and advise on whether the nest needs physically removing.

04

Prevent

Advice on proofing the entry point before next season, since wasps often favour the same spot year after year.

What affects the price

Most domestic wasp nests are a single fixed-price visit. A few are not.

  • Where the nest is and how accessible it is
  • Whether height or ladder work is involved
  • How many nests are on the property
  • Whether it is a wasp nest or a honey bee swarm, which we handle differently
  • Whether you need it attending out of hours

Common questions

Can I leave it until the winter?
A nest dies off naturally in late autumn and will not be reused. If it is somewhere harmless and nobody is being bothered, leaving it is reasonable. Near a doorway or a child, it is not.
Is it wasps or bees?
It matters, because we do not destroy honey bees. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you which you have. For honey bees we will put you in touch with a local beekeeper.
How soon can you come?
Wasp jobs are usually same or next day in season. If someone in the house has a sting allergy, tell us when you call and we will prioritise it.
Do you remove the nest itself?
Once the colony is dead it is harmless, and in a loft void it is usually left in place. If it is somewhere visible or it needs to come out for building work, we can remove it.
