Questions & answers about wasp nests

Amanda asked:

Your site is amazing, so informative. I got quoted by another firm £120 plus vat to remove last year's huge inactive wasps nest and was told I have to as they reuse it. Your site showed this is completely unnecessary. Thank you. Will Definately contact you for any active nests. So trustworthy.

sue asked:

we just killed about 8 hornets in our loft, do we have a nest? We can't see one.

Paul Sweet replied:

Hi Sue, the answer is you probably do have a nest. Although having said that, at this time of year, newly emerged queens from both wasp and hornet nests are looking for somewhere to hibernate. So it could be that happening. Suggest you take a look from outside at each side of your roof. If you have a nest, you will see the wasps entering and leaving just one spot on your roof.

Carol asked:

I had a wasp nest in the wall void of my bedroom treated a week ago. Last night, I still heard some buzzing. I looked around the inside of the room and found nothing, so I figured it must be coming from the wall. From what I understand, the nest should have been dead after a few days. So, is it possible that a latecomer had just contacted the treatment one week later? Or is it some new pest that I should worry about?

Paul Sweet replied:

Hi Carol, it is probably a wasp from another nest which has been raiding your dead nest out. If there is no activity like before at the entrance, then the nest is dead. I hope this helps. Regards Paul

Our fee for treating a Wasp or Hornet nest is a straight forward £65.00. This cost includes all the expenses associated with the treatment, such as callouts, climbing ladders, working in lofts, and any essential treatments. There are no hidden costs, and we want to ensure that you know exactly what you will be paying for our services.

If you've discovered additional nests on your property, we can treat them during the same visit for an extra £15.00 per nest. This offer is only applicable if treated at the time of the original callout. So, if you have multiple nests on your property, call us, and we can discuss a fixed price to handle all the nests in a single visit.

We are certified and fully insured professionals, and all our work comes with a guarantee. Payment is due upon completing the job, and please note that we do not accept bank transfers. Additionally, no value-added tax (VAT) is applied to our charges.

Please ensure that you have correctly identified the species of flying insect causing concern before contacting us. If you are not certain, you can send us a clear photo, and we will be happy to assist in identifying the issue. Alternatively, you can call us, and we will discuss the problem and provide advice.

We strongly advise against using proprietary products you may have purchased to treat the nest, as this action can often lead to disastrous consequences. If you decide to embark upon this often hazardous endeavor, please do not call us to sort out the frequently dangerous aftermath.

Please do not contact us for any issues related to bees, as we do not provide treatment for any bee species.

When you book our services, we will assign you an approximate morning or afternoon time slot. We promise to be there as scheduled and kindly request that you be present at home to ensure a smooth process.

For safety reasons, we recommend keeping children and pets indoors and closing windows and doors during and for several hours after treatment. Please keep in mind that we work weekends, so if you discover a nest in your garden during the weekend (Saturday or Sunday), give us a call, and we will make every effort to respond to your situation as soon as possible.
