Three steps
How wasp nest treatment works
Wasp nest treatment does not mean pulling the nest down. We let the wasps do the work, which is why it is so reliable.
Find the flight entrance
We watch where the wasps go in and out. That gap is the target, wherever the nest itself sits.
Dust at the entrance
A professional dust goes in at the entrance, usually from the ground with a telescopic lance.
Wasps carry it inside
Returning wasps take the dust deep into the nest. The colony is usually inactive within about 24 hours.
Where’s your nest?

Choose a house type, then tap where you see wasps going in. Each spot shows what to avoid and how the treatment reaches it.
Nest location 1 / 9
Loft nest
What it is
A paper nest in the roof space. Look for regular traffic under tiles or through the soffit.
What not to do
Do not block the entrance or disturb the nest in the loft.
How we treat it
We treat the entry point so workers carry the treatment into the nest.
Time & price
Usually inactive within 24 hours. £125 fixed for wasps or hornets. No call-out fee. Free revisit if still active.
The day itself
From call to quiet in 24 hours
One call, one visit, then a quiet nest by the next day. 98% are cleared on the first visit.
You call
One call and you speak to the technician, not a call centre.
We arrive
We confirm your appointment when you contact us.
We treat
Treatment goes directly into the nest entrance.
Traffic slows
Returning workers carry the treatment inside.
Usually inactive
If the nest remains active, contact us for your free revisit.
While you wait: keep nearby windows closed and people and pets away from the nest. Do not block the entrance.
Is it safe?
Is wasp nest treatment safe for your family and home?
Yes, when you follow the technician’s advice on the day. Here is what that means.
People
Children & pets
Keep children and pets away from the entrance for the rest of the day. Indoors, life carries on as normal. The technician tells you exactly where to avoid.
Property
Your home
No tiles are lifted, no holes are drilled and nothing is opened up. We treat at the gap the wasps already use, so your house is left as it was.
When we say no
When we won’t carry out a wasp nest treatment
Some calls don’t need us. We tell you straight.
Bees · never
We never treat bees
If it turns out to be bees, we put you in touch with a local beekeeper for free.
Late autumn
Nests already dying off
Late in the year a colony may be close to its natural end. If treatment isn’t worth your money, we’ll say so on the call.
Aftercare
The 24 hours after we treat your nest
A busy entrance for a few hours is normal. It means the treatment is spreading.
If wasps are still flying steadily in and out after a full day, call us. The revisit is free if the treated nest is still active.
Treatment questions
Wasp nest treatment: what to expect
How does wasp nest treatment work?
We apply a professional dust at the flight entrance. Returning wasps carry it into the nest, and the colony is usually inactive within about 24 hours.
Do you need to remove the wasp nest after treatment?
No. Once the colony is dead the empty nest is harmless and is never reused. It can stay where it is.
Is wasp nest treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes, when you follow the technician’s advice. Keep children and pets away from the entrance for the rest of the day.
Will you need to lift tiles or drill holes?
No. We treat at the entrance the wasps already use. Nothing is lifted, drilled or opened up.
How long does a wasp nest treatment take?
Usually under half an hour on site. Most of the work happens afterwards, as the wasps carry the dust inside.
Why are there still wasps the day after treatment?
Foragers keep returning for a few hours and pick up the dust as they go in. If traffic is still steady after 24 hours, call us for the free revisit.
