Paul Sweet replied:

Hello Jude, what exactly can you see? Tomorrow in the daylight, have a look outside at your roof, pay particular attention to the facia and soffit boards, if there is an active nest in your loft, the wasps will be coming out of the attic via a hole somewhere. If you can identify this access point and can see wasps exiting the loft and flying away, also wasps returning and going into the attic, then you have a nest. If this is the case and you want to get rid of them, if we are in your area give one us a call, and we will come out and deal with it. If you are in another area, find a local pest controller, and they will be able to sort it out for you. If you cannot see wasps leaving and arriving from the outside, then you may well have queen wasps looking to hibernate in your loft, in which case there isn't much that can be done about them, they will remain inactive over the winter and leave next spring.

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.
