How do wasps cool their nest?

Wasps bring a lot of water into the nest to help cool it down in hot weather.
Wasps and hornets also fan the nest with their wings to attempt to cool it down in hot weather.
The noise from wasps fanning a nest can be pretty loud.
In warm periods when lots of water is brought in, it is possible (if the nest is above a ceiling) to have stains appear on the plasterboard due to water running to the bottom of the nest and soaking through the plasterboard.

What type of wasps are orange?

Wasps are black and yellow and bald. If you have orange or golden-coloured insects in spring, they will be Mason bees.

Do you service commercial properties?

We no longer treat commercial premises. This is primarily due to late payments. In some extreme cases, we have had to wait months for payment.

Can I burn a hornets nest?

We suggest if you are going to set fire to a wasp nest, that you know where your local accident and emergency facility is and have someone on standby to drive you there.

Don't do it!

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.
