Signs of a Nest

Common signs include:
• Increased wasp or hornet activity around your property
• Wasps flying in and out of the same hole or area
• A visible nest in lofts, roof spaces, sheds, trees or wall cavities
• Buzzing sounds coming from walls or ceilings
• Wasps gathering around bins, food or outdoor areas

Our Wasp Treatment Process
1. Initial Contact & Advice
Get in touch and we’ll quickly assess your situation, asking a few key questions about the activity you’ve noticed. We’ll provide clear advice and arrange a convenient time to attend your property.
2. Nest Identification & Inspection
We locate the nest and confirm whether you’re dealing with wasps or hornets. Nests are often hidden in lofts, wall cavities, rooflines or underground, so a careful inspection is essential.
3. Targeted Nest Treatment
We apply a treatment directly to the nest or entry point using specialist equipment. This allows the treatment to be carried back into the nest for maximum effectiveness. Activity may not stop immediately, and it can take up to 5 days for the treatment to fully take effect.
4. Activity Reduction & Aftercare
You should start to notice a reduction in wasp or hornet activity over the following days as the treatment works through the colony. In most cases, nests become inactive within around 5 days. We’ll also provide advice on what to expect and how to reduce the risk of future nests forming.
Wasp & Hornet Control FAQs
How quickly can you remove a wasp nest?
We aim to offer same-day or next-day appointments where possible, especially during peak wasp season.
How long does wasp treatment take to work?
In most cases, activity starts to reduce within 48-72 hours, treatment may take up to 5 days to take affect.
Is wasp nest treatment safe?
Yes. We use professional-grade products and follow strict safety procedures to ensure treatments are carried out safely and effectively.
Will you remove the nest?
In many cases, the nest does not need to be physically removed once treated, as it will become inactive. Removal may be possible depending on location and accessibility.
Can I treat a wasp nest myself?
We strongly advise against it. Wasps and hornets can become aggressive and may sting repeatedly if disturbed, which can be dangerous without the proper equipment and experience.
Do wasps return to the same nest?
No, wasps do not reuse old nests. However, they may return to the same area and build a new nest if conditions are suitable.
