Selby's older town-centre buildings and later estates sit in flat country by the Ouse. We treat wasp nests there for a fixed cost of £90.
In flat country such as this, hedges, field edges and gardens are wide open, and wasps have a lot of sheltered ground to choose from. Selby's older town-centre property, near the abbey, offers roof spaces and chimneys, while the later estates have soffits, garages and sheds. Ground nests in lawns and banks are also fairly common in low-lying gardens.
If you suspect a ground nest, avoid the area, especially with a mower or strimmer. Mark the spot from a distance and let us know. For nests in buildings, a clear description of where wasps are entering saves time. The wasp nest treatment is a fixed £90, and we confirm it before we begin.
Not in itself, but people disturb them by accident with mowers and spades, which provokes stings. Keep well away, mark the area from a distance and ring us for treatment.
Sometimes a very wet spell damages a ground nest, but you cannot rely on it. If wasps are still active after rain, the colony is surviving, and the nest still needs dealing with if it is close to use.
