Stone terraces and mill conversions beside the canal give wasps shelter and food nearby. We treat a Shipley nest for a fixed cost of £90 and explain what we find.
Property near the Leeds and Liverpool Canal suits wasps for two reasons: old stone with a lot of small gaps, and water, vegetation and walkers' picnics close at hand. Shipley's terraces and mill conversions both benefit from a quick look when wasps first appear, because a nest in an outer wall can be hard to locate from inside.
Many calls from this part of Bradford district involve flats, so access is usually the first question. A nest in a communal stairwell wall or a roof void may need the building manager. If you can tell us where the traffic is heaviest, we can often plan the treatment in advance. The fixed cost of £90 applies to each nest treatment.
Not exactly. They need water and sugary or protein foods, so a spot close to a canal path, bins and gardens gives them everything. The nest itself still depends on a dry, sheltered gap, such as a wall or roof void.
Close the window, keep the room clear and do not seal the gap. Ring us and describe where they are coming from, as the nest may be inside the wall rather than at the frame itself.
