Mirfield's older stone housing, canal-side gardens and later estates all offer nesting sites. A wasp nest treatment here has a fixed cost of £90.
On the River Calder and the canal, Mirfield has a lot of green edges and garden boundaries, and wasps use them for both food and nesting. Hedges, compost bins and old fence posts are as likely as roofs to hold a colony. Older stone houses and Victorian terraces add the more familiar sites, namely eaves, party walls and chimney breasts.
Walking round your property slowly in the late afternoon can pay off. Look at the ground by paths and walls for small round holes, and at the roofline for any steady traffic. If you find something, note the location and keep clear. We treat the nest, check for further entrances and quote a fixed £90 for the treatment before we start.
The method is similar, but we need to find the exact entrance. Mark it from a distance, keep children and pets away and do not pour anything into it. We will treat the burrow and explain when the ground is usable again.
In late summer workers look for sugar and protein. Covering food, clearing drinks and keeping bins closed helps. If the number seems high, a nest may be near, and it is worth ringing us rather than relying on traps.
