Seasonal domestic offer
£95 whole-property wasp cover
One £95 payment covers the identified active nest, a free return if that nest is still active after 48 hours, and any further wasp nests that become active at the same property until 31 December in the year you book.
Current availability: appointments are showing from Thursday 13 August. See the live diary for the latest times.
Standard domestic price within 20 miles of PR2 1AU. We confirm any different price for other addresses or unusual access before the appointment.
J Alvey Pest Control provides professional wasp nest treatment across our wider North West operating area. We are a family-run BPCA member business established in 1979. Wasp work is seasonal, so current availability depends on active nests and safe access.
What your £95 payment covers
The standard £95 price applies to an average domestic property within 20 miles of PR2 1AU. We also cover Liverpool and Merseyside, Southport and West Lancashire, Preston and Central Lancashire, and Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. If the address, access or journey means a different price applies, we will explain it before confirming the appointment.
- Treatment of the identified active wasp nest at the booked domestic property.
- A free return if the treated nest remains active after 48 hours.
- Any further wasp nests that become active at the same property until 31 December in the year you book are included in the same £95 payment.
The offer is for domestic properties. Commercial premises, schools, managed sites and unusual access requirements are priced separately.
Before you book
From a safe position, note where the insects are entering and how high the entrance is. Tell us whether it is in a wall, roof edge, loft, shed, air brick, hedge or the ground, and include any locked gates, parking restrictions or other access details. Do not climb a ladder, open the nest area or block the entrance.
Bees and wasps can be confused. If you are unsure, send a clear photograph or short video taken safely from ground level. We will not recommend wasp treatment for a bee nest simply because insects are present. See our bee removal and advice and tree bee pages.
What happens during treatment
We assess the flight path, nest entrance and access before deciding whether treatment can be carried out safely. Where suitable, our current professional dust treatment is Vulcan P5 DP, used in accordance with its authorised label. The aim is to treat the active nest through the entrance; the hidden paper nest is not normally opened or physically removed.
Some returning wasps may remain visible for a short time. Keep people and pets away, do not touch deposited dust and do not block the entrance. If the same nest is still active after 48 hours, contact us so that the included return can be arranged. Product and aftercare information is available on our treatment safety page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be home?
Not always. If the entrance is safely accessible outside and access has been agreed with us in advance, treatment can often be completed without an occupier present. We will confirm whether that is suitable for your booking.
Will you take the nest away?
Usually not. Many nests are hidden inside a wall, roof or other void, and opening the structure would add unnecessary risk or damage. The service is designed to stop activity at the nest. Physical removal is considered only when the nest is readily accessible and has been discussed separately.
What if I find another nest later in the season?
Contact us with the new location. The same £95 payment covers treatment of further wasp nests that become active at the booked property until 31 December in the year you book.
Can you treat a nest at a business or school?
Yes, but the domestic offer does not automatically apply. Send the site, access and operating details so that we can confirm the appropriate commercial arrangement.
