Skipton's older stone buildings, canal basin and later housing all suit wasps. We treat the nest for a fixed cost of £90, with no call-out charges.
Craven stone is thick and long-lasting, and old walls come with plenty of gaps that wasps use. Skipton's older property, including buildings around the castle and the canal basin on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, gives them ledges, voids and warm roof spaces. Newer housing on the town's edges has the usual eaves, hatches and sheds.
Being a gateway to the Dales, the town also has holiday lets and visitors, so a nest near an entrance affects guests as well as residents. If that applies, tell us at the first call. There are no call-out charges, and the treatment is a fixed £90 per nest. We will say honestly if the nest is likely to die off soon.
Often, yes. If the property is empty between bookings, we can treat then. Tell us the changeover days and where the nest is, and we will try to fit the visit around them.
The principle is the same, but it takes longer for the product to spread through a deep void. We explain how long to expect activity to continue and when to ring us again.
