Signs you have wasps
A wasp nest is likely if you see a steady stream of wasps flying in and out of one spot, such as a gap under roof tiles, an air brick or a hole in the ground.
- Regular wasp traffic in and out of a single hole or gap.
- A papery, grey, football-like nest in a loft, shed or hedge.
- Chewing or crackling sounds from walls or ceilings.
- Wasps appearing indoors, especially in upstairs rooms near the loft.
- Increasing numbers from late spring through summer.

Wasp stings are painful and, for people with an allergy, can cause a dangerous reaction called anaphylaxis.
- Wasps sting repeatedly and release a chemical that alerts the rest of the nest.
- Nests can hold several thousand wasps by late summer.
- Nests near doors, windows, play areas and business entrances put people at risk.
- Wasps can chew through plasterboard and appear inside the home.
When should I call a professional for a wasp nest?
Call a professional if the nest is in or near your home, the entrance is hard to reach, anyone in the household is allergic, or the nest is large; do not try to block or knock down a nest yourself.
Blocking a nest entrance can force wasps into the house. Our technicians use protective equipment and professional dust or spray applied directly to the nest entrance.
Is it a wasp or a bee?
Wasps are bright yellow and black, smooth and slim-waisted; bees are rounder, hairier and duller in colour. If you are not sure, send us a photo or read our bees page.

Treatment methods and safety for children and pets
- Identification of the species (wasp, hornet or bee).
- Professional insecticide dust or spray applied at the nest entrance.
- Nest usually dies within 24 hours; removal of accessible nests where needed.
- Advice on staying away from the area until activity stops.
Is it safe for children and pets? Keep children and pets inside while we treat the nest and away from the entrance for 24 hours afterwards. Treatments are targeted at the nest entrance only.
How to prepare for wasps treatment
Good preparation makes treatment work faster. Print this checklist and tick off each step before we arrive.
- Note where the wasps are going in and out.
- Keep windows near the nest closed.
- Keep children and pets indoors while we work.
- Do not block or spray the nest yourself.
How long does wasps treatment take?
Treating a wasp nest takes 20–40 minutes. Activity usually stops within 24 hours. One visit is almost always enough.
How much does wasp nest removal cost in London?
Wasp Nest Removal starts from £110 + VAT. The final price depends on:
- Location and height of the nest

Wasp Nest Removal FAQs
How quickly can you treat a wasp nest?
Usually the same day. We are available 24/7 across London.
Do you remove the nest?
Treatment kills the nest, which is then safe to leave. We can remove accessible nests if you prefer.
How long after treatment do wasps die?
Most activity stops within 24 hours. Returning wasps die when they contact the treated entrance.
Will wasps come back to the same nest?
No, wasps do not reuse old nests, but they can build a new one nearby next year.
Can you remove a wasp nest from a wall cavity?
Yes. We treat through the entrance hole, so no wall needs to be opened.
Is it a wasp or a bee nest?
Wasps are slim and bright yellow; bees are rounder and fluffy. We identify the species before any treatment.
