Stone cottages, steep hillsides and moorland all surround Holmfirth, and wasps use the lot. We treat the nest for a fixed cost of £90 and explain the work.
Stone cottages built into a valley side have thick walls, small roof spaces and odd corners, which are exactly what a queen wasp looks for in spring. Holmfirth also has moorland and woodland close by, so hedges, drystone walls and banks often hold ground nests too. Many calls begin with someone noticing wasps pouring out of a wall close to the garden path.
Because the properties are often old, a nest may be in the stone itself rather than the roof. We will look at the pointing and the surrounding wall to find the entrance. If the cottage is let to holidaymakers or visitors, tell us, as guests should be kept away from the area. The wasp nest treatment is a fixed £90.

Yes, where we can reach the entrance. These nests are sometimes deep, so we explain how the treatment will be applied. Keep children and pets away from the wall until we tell you it is fine.
