Wasp Nest Removal
Signs You Have a Wasp Nest
Wasps are most active during the warmer months, especially between spring and late summer. You may have a nest nearby if you notice:
Frequent wasp activity around your home
Wasps entering and leaving the same hole or gap
A papery grey nest in a loft, tree, shed, or wall
Buzzing sounds coming from walls or roof spaces
Increased wasp activity around food or bins
Wasp nests can grow quickly and may contain hundreds or even thousands of wasps, making DIY removal extremely dangerous.
Why You Should Never Remove a Wasp Nest Yourself
Attempting to remove a wasp nest without the proper training and equipment can result in serious injury.
Wasps will aggressively defend their nest if they feel threatened.
Risks of DIY removal include:
Multiple painful stings
Severe allergic reactions
Disturbing a large colony
Incomplete treatment leading to recurring problems
Our technicians use professional-grade insecticides and protective equipment to eliminate the nest safely.

Where Wasp Nests Are Commonly Found
Wasps build nests in sheltered areas around properties. Common locations include:
Loft spaces and attics
Wall cavities
Roof eaves and soffits
Garden sheds and garages
Trees and bushes
Under decking
Air vents or roof gaps
If you notice wasps flying in and out of one area, a nest is likely nearby.
When Is Wasp Nest Season?
Wasp nests usually appear in spring, when queen wasps begin building their colonies.
The nests grow throughout the summer months, reaching peak size by late summer and early autumn.
Key facts:
A nest may contain 3,000–5,000 wasps
Nests are typically abandoned in winter
New nests are built each year
Early treatment prevents colonies from growing larger and more aggressive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will the wasps die after treatment?
Most wasp nests become inactive within 24 hours, although some activity may remain briefly as returning wasps come into contact with the treatment.
Do you remove the nest completely?
In many cases the nest does not need to be physically removed once treated, as it will no longer be active.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. Our technicians use professional products and provide guidance on any precautions required.
How much does wasp nest removal cost?
Nex Pest Control offers a fixed rate of £70 to destroy a wasp nest.
If more than one nest is present, each additional nest is charged at £35.
Contact Nex Pest Control to check our availability.
Mistaken Identity
Please ensure the species is correctly identified before arranging pest elimination.
Nex Pest Control charges a £35 mistaken identity fee if bees are incorrectly reported as wasps. This fee covers the time required to inspect the activity and associated fuel costs.
From our experience, it is common for customers to mistake honey bees for wasps due to their similar appearance.
To avoid unnecessary charges, please consult the identification guide below to help determine whether the insects at your property are wasps or bees before requesting service.
Early-season bee or wasp?
If you are seeing large numbers of insects before June, they are often bees rather than wasps. Established wasp nests generally do not become noticeable until June onwards, with peak activity occurring throughout the summer and into early autumn. This is why we always recommend checking the species carefully before booking a wasp treatment.
