I'm a tenant — who pays for wasp removal?

In most rental situations the landlord or managing agent is responsible for pest control on the property. We're happy to invoice landlords or agents directly, or speak to them on your behalf if that helps.

Will treatment damage my loft insulation or roof?

No. We treat the nest at its entry point using equipment designed for this work. Insulation, plasterboard and roof timbers aren't affected.

What about pets and children in the house?

We treat externally wherever possible. Once the product has settled (usually within an hour or two outside), there's no further risk to pets or children. We'll give you specific aftercare advice for your situation.

Do I need to be home during treatment?

Often no — many garden, eaves and loft jobs can be done from outside provided we have access. We'll confirm this when you book.

Around the home

Where we typically find wasp nests at Essex properties

Wasp nest in a loft at an Essex home, built between wooden rafters and ready for professional removal

Lofts and roof voids. Wasps enter through small gaps in soffits, fascias or roof tiles and build in the apex of the roof, on rafters or against insulation. You'll often hear them before you see them.

Wall cavities and air bricks. Watch wasps come and go from a single point on an outside wall — usually an air brick, a missing pointing joint or a gap around a pipe. Never block the entrance.

Under eaves and soffits. Some of the most visible nests, often near upstairs windows. These get noticed early and are usually quick to treat.

Wasp nest hidden in the roof corner of a garden shed at an Essex property

Sheds, garages and outbuildings. Built into corners of the roof, behind stored items or in rafters. Common to find when you go in for the lawn mower.

Garden trees, hedges and shrubs. Conifers and dense shrubs are popular nest sites. Often only noticed when pruning.

Underground nests. Built in old mouse or vole burrows, compost heaps or under decking. Very easy to disturb when mowing or gardening.

Useful to know

Don't try to remove a wasp nest yourself

Shop-bought wasp sprays are designed for small, recently-built nests. They rarely deal with an established nest properly, and they often make wasps defensive. The safest approach is to have the nest assessed and treated properly.

• Don't stand directly under a nest while spraying upwards.
• Don't try to knock down or burn a nest.
• Don't block the nest entrance — wasps may come inside.
• Keep allergy sufferers, children and pets well clear.
