Professional Wasp Nest Control When You Need It Most

At this time of year, wasp nests are often large enough to make tackling them without professional help extremely dangerous.

To treat a nest, all we need is visibility of the entrance, even if it’s at roof level we rarely need ladders. Our treatments take approximately 20 minutes. After about 2 hours, once foraging wasps have returned, the nest will be fully inactive. If you still see wasps 48 hours after our visit, we’ll return at no extra cost to ensure the treatment has been effective.

This year, nest sizes have been unpredictable due to the poor weather. Some nests are the size we would usually see in early July, while others are as large as we’d expect in late September, making them extremely dangerous. These larger nests often outgrow their space and can even chew through plasterboard to expand, creating a distinct chewing noise, similar to Rice Krispies popping.

Many people are advised to leave nests, as worker wasps die off with the first frost. However, it’s at this late stage of the year that nests produce queen wasps for next year, with each nest generating around 20 queens. These queens hibernate and in spring look for similar places to nest, often in the same building or nearby properties. For this reason, we always recommend treating nests now to reduce the risk of future infestations.
