Wasp Nest Treatment in Bexley

How to Tell There Is a Nest

The reliable sign is traffic. Stand well back and watch one point on the building for a minute: if wasps are arriving and leaving in a steady two-way stream through the same gap, that is the entrance. Individual wasps around a bin or a fallen apple are foragers and mean nothing on their own.

Nests turn up in roof eaves and soffits, in lofts, inside wall cavities, behind fascia boards, in air bricks and vents, under decking, in sheds, garages and hedges. Where it is makes no difference to the price. A nest gets larger and more defensive as the season goes on, which is the only reason to deal with it sooner rather than later.

Why the Price Does Not Move

Wasp nest treatment is £90 whatever the nest is sitting in and however awkward it is to reach. No call-out fee, no charge for working at height, no surcharge for a nest in a loft rather than a hedge. It is one visit, it is guaranteed, and the figure you are quoted on the phone is the figure on the invoice.

What we will not do is pretend a bees colony is wasps. Honey bees are not something to destroy and a swarm can usually be collected free by a local beekeeper. Bumblebees are docile, do very little harm and the nest dies off naturally by the end of the summer. If that is what you have, we will tell you and you will not be charged for finding out.

Wasp Nest Treatment for Homes, Landlords and Businesses

Homes and gardens

Nests by a back door, a bedroom window, a washing line or a garden a child plays in are the ones worth dealing with quickly.

Landlords and agents

A single fixed price makes this the easiest job on the list to approve. We can arrange access with the tenant directly.

Pubs, shops and premises with customers

A nest by a customer entrance or a beer garden in August is a trading problem. We work outside opening hours where that helps.

Wasp Nest Treatment in Bexley – What We Usually Find

The interwar semis around Bexley are close to ideal for wasps. Deep soffits, tiled roofs with accessible eaves, air bricks at high level and a garage or shed in most gardens give a queen a dozen sheltered places to start a nest in April.

Most of the Bexley nests we treat are in a soffit box or under the eaves at the point where the roof meets the gable. Both are perfectly normal, both are treatable, and neither changes the £90.

Gardens with sheds and decking produce the other half of the calls. A nest under decking or in a shed roof is at the height people actually stand, which is why those tend to be the ones that lead to somebody being stung before they ring.

If you can watch a steady two-way stream of wasps going in and out of one point from a safe distance, that is the entrance and that is all we need to know to quote.
