Where do wasps build nests?
Nests turn up in all sorts of spots, including:
- Lofts and roof spaces
- Wall cavities
- Eaves, fascias and soffits
- Garages, sheds and outbuildings
- Trees, hedges and shrubs
- Garden buildings and ground-level areas
- Commercial buildings
A nest can go unnoticed for a while, but activity can increase sharply as the colony grows. Wasps coming and going from the same point, all day, means a nest is almost certainly tucked away nearby.
How wasp nest removal works
01Call or request a quote
Tell us where the nest is and how active the wasps are.
02Inspection
We find the nest, confirm the species and assess the safest treatment approach for the location.
03Treatment
We treat the nest and the colony with approved professional products, following current legislation and best practice.
04Done
Most nests are dealt with in a single visit. In many cases the nest does not need to be physically removed, because treating the active colony resolves the problem.
What to do while you wait
If you have found a nest, please:
- Keep away from it. Do not disturb the nest or try to remove it yourself.
- Keep children and pets clear of the immediate area.
- Do not block the entrance. Blocking a nest entrance can make wasps find alternative routes into the building.
- If the nest is inside or near a busy area, call a professional for advice.
DIY removal is genuinely dangerous. Disturb a nest and the wasps will not hold back: one wasp can sting again and again, which is why professional treatment is the safe option for you and for anyone else using the property.
Wasp nests in lofts, gardens and commercial premises
Loft and roof spaces. Nests in roof voids are common and often go unnoticed until activity builds. We can treat nests in lofts, wall cavities, eaves and rooflines, using the approach that suits the location and access.
Gardens and outbuildings. Sheds, trees, hedges, garden buildings and ground-level nests are all within our normal remit. Let us know where the activity is and we will confirm what can be done.
Holiday lets and businesses. Pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, holiday lets and shops all get wasp problems, often right in the outdoor seating or guest areas. We treat nests discreetly and quickly so your guests and customers are not affected, and we can talk through ongoing pest management if wasps are a recurring issue.

Common questions
What are the signs of a wasp nest?＋
Wasps funnelling in and out of the same spot are the giveaway. Listen out too for buzzing or scratching from a loft or wall cavity.
Can you remove a wasp nest from a roof?＋
Yes. Nests around roof spaces, eaves, fascias and other parts of the property are all treatable, with the approach matched to where the nest is and how easy it is to reach.
Do I need the nest physically removed?＋
Not usually. The aim is normally to treat the colony itself, and once the colony is gone the nest is no longer a problem. Where a nest really does need taking down, we will tell you.
Do wasps return to an old nest?＋
Nests are single-season structures, and a new colony will not move back into last year's nest. Wasps can, however, build afresh nearby, so it is worth keeping an eye on the same spot each spring.
How quickly can you treat a wasp nest?＋
We get to nests promptly where our diary allows. If the nest is in a high-risk spot or causing an immediate problem, say so when you call and we will prioritise it.
Do you provide commercial wasp control?＋
Yes. We provide wasp control for pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, holiday lets and other commercial premises across the area.
