Service Used: Wasp Nest Removal

  • Do you treat wasp nests for homes and businesses?

    Yes. We provide wasp nest pest control for homeowners, landlords, tenants and businesses across Hertfordshire, Essex, London and Cambridgeshire, including domestic properties, rental homes, shops, restaurants, offices and managed sites.

  • Can I remove a wasp nest myself?

    We would not recommend disturbing or attempting to remove an active wasp nest yourself. Wasps can become defensive when the nest is disturbed, and DIY treatments can make the issue more difficult and more dangerous to deal with.

  • How quickly should I deal with a wasp nest?

    It is best to get advice as soon as you notice repeated wasp activity around one area of your property. Wasp nests can become more active over time, especially in warmer months, and are safest to deal with before they become a larger problem.

  • Will all wasp activity stop immediately?

    Some activity may continue for a short period after treatment as wasps return to the nest area. We will explain what to expect, what is normal after treatment and when you should contact us again if the activity does not reduce.

  • Do wasp nests come back in the same place?

    A treated nest is not normally reused, but wasps may choose similar sheltered areas in future seasons if the property offers suitable nesting points. We can provide practical advice on areas to monitor and steps that may help reduce future risk.
    By leaving the empty wasps nest in place it can discourage other wasps from starting another nest.

  • Should a wasps nest always be removed?

    No. We normally recommend leaving the actual nest in place if possible and treating it to get rid of the wasps. Here is why:
    1. Leaving the nest in place can deter other queens from setting up a new nest next season.
    2. Wasp nests are made of chewed wood and saliva, which if built inside a wall cavity or in a ceiling can cause physically damage to your property when removed.

  • Does it cost more to remove the wasps nest?

    Yes, during the first visit we will treat the wasps nest.
    This will get rid of your wasp problem.
    If you want the nest removing (which is not always essential) then we will need to revisit your property 2 days later to remove the nest.

  • Large wasp nest in loft to be removed – Hertfordshire

    Large wasp nest in loft to be removed – Hertfordshire

    Source – Bespoke Pest Control was contacted by a homeowner in Hertford, Hertfordshire, who had noticed a significant increase in wasp activity around their property. During our inspection, we carefully monitored the flight paths of the wasps and identified the entry point they were using to gain access to the building. A detailed survey of the loft space revealed a large active wasp nest hidden within the roof void.

    Exclude & restrict – Due to the location of the nest within the loft, immediate physical removal was not the safest or most effective option. Our technician carried out a professional wasp nest treatment using a specialist insecticide approved for use in wasp control. The treatment was applied directly to the nest, allowing the worker wasps to carry the product throughout the colony. The loft area was then restricted until the treatment had taken full effect, ensuring the safety of the occupants and allowing the wasp population to be eradicated efficiently.

    Manage – Following treatment, the wasp nest was left in situ for several days to ensure the entire colony had been eliminated. Bespoke Pest Control then returned to the property to confirm there was no remaining wasp activity and, at the customer’s request, removed the nest from the loft space. Whilst nest removal is not always necessary, many homeowners prefer the reassurance of having the nest physically removed once treatment has been completed. This successful wasp nest removal in Hertford, Hertfordshire, left the property free from wasp activity and ready for safe use once again.
