Wasp nest removal

A wasp nest by the door, under the eaves or in the cavity wall is not something to sit out for the summer: a nest keeps growing from May to September and holds thousands of wasps by late summer. Affiliated controllers treat the nest at its entrance and the job is usually done in one visit — even when the nest sits high or is hard to reach.

Expect € 75 to € 150 per nest, depending on the location and accessibility. While you wait, do not attack it with a garden hose or a spray can: a disturbed nest makes wasps aggressive, and a cavity-wall nest can be driven straight into the house. Keep nearby windows and doors closed and keep your distance.

Not sure whether they are wasps? Bees are not exterminated — a controller will refer you to a beekeeper who can relocate the colony. Describe what you see in your request (spot, size, how much flight traffic) so the controller knows exactly what to expect.
