From stone terraces to larger detached houses, Horsforth homes give wasps plenty of cover. We find the nest, treat it for a fixed cost of £90 and leave you with clear advice.
A bigger house means more places a nest can go unnoticed. In a large detached home in Horsforth, a nest in a spare-room loft or behind a fascia board can run for weeks before anyone sees the traffic. Terraces and inter-war semis are usually easier to read, because the wasps stream past a bedroom window or a back door and give the entrance away.
Our approach is simple. We confirm it is wasps rather than bees, locate the entrance, treat the nest with the right product and tell you what to expect over the next day or two. If the nest is high on a gable or a three-storey side wall, say so on the phone so that we bring suitable access. The fixed cost of £90 covers the nest treatment.
We would advise against it. A young nest still holds many wasps, and disturbing it provokes stings, often indoors if the nest is in a loft. If the nest is easy to see, photograph it from a distance and send it to us for identification.
Wasps chew wood fibre to make paper, so they can mark timbers and plasterboard, and a heavy nest can stain a ceiling. The larger risk is wasps finding a way into the room below. A prompt treatment limits both problems.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
