    Pest Control - Wasps

    waspWe provide a wasp treatment service during the wasp season. This is usually between the months of May to October but subject to change according to local circumstances. Dates vary depending on demand and staff availability.

    See our Fees and charges table for more information on what it might cost.

    What happens after the treatment

    It will usually take anything up to 24 hours for the wasps to die. However you may still see wasps flying around the treated nest for several days, depending on time of year and how far the worker wasps have been travelling away from their nest.

    In most situations it is not necessary to remove a wasps nest. Wasps generally build their nests with the main entry / exit point leading straight outside, allowing them easy access. A wasps nest is only ever used once, so there is no increased risk of having a wasp nest next year if you leave the original one. In fact if you remove the nest a new nest could be built in the same place the following year.

    It is not part of the service that we offer to remove any nests. If you wish to do this you will need to make your own arrangements.
