Denholme's exposed, hilly setting means wasps look for sheltered spots in stone walls and roof spaces. We treat the nest for a fixed cost of £90.
On an exposed hillside, wasps go where the wind does not: the lee side of a stone wall, a roof space under thick slates, a gap beside a chimney. Denholme's stone terraces and later housing offer plenty of that shelter. The village lies between Bradford, Halifax and Keighley, and callers sometimes describe the same pattern: a quiet spring, then a busy wall by July.
Because it is hilly, access can matter. A nest on the downhill side of a terrace may be two storeys up from the street yet just one storey from the back garden. Tell us which side it is on. We plan the equipment accordingly, treat the nest and advise on any gaps worth sealing. The nest treatment costs a fixed £90.
They do, but they choose sheltered spots, such as the lee of a wall or inside a roof. Exposed houses can attract nests in the few warm, dry places they offer, so a nest in your roof space is not unusual.
Yes, but wait until the colony is dead and no wasps are using the entrance. Sealing too early may drive them indoors. We can tell you when it is reasonable to fill gaps with mortar or sealant.
