Where the Rochdale Canal meets the Calder, the valley sides are packed with stone terraces and mills. We treat wasp nests there for a fixed cost of £90.
Steep valley sides make a house look different from the front and the back. Sowerby Bridge terraces and mill buildings often have one side at street level and the other dropping away, so a nest in the rear eaves can be well above any ground you can stand on. We always ask where the wasps are and which side of the building it is.
The canal junction brings damp ground, vegetation and walkers, while the old mill buildings provide ledges and roof voids. A nest in such a building is usually under a roof edge or in a gap near a chimney. If you are not sure, take a photograph from a distance. We will treat the nest for a fixed £90 and advise on any gaps.
It can be, because the height from the ground is greater. That is why we ask about the rear levels at the start. In many cases a ladder, a pole or a loft approach will work, and we say which.
They can travel some distance, but a nest is usually close to where you see steady traffic. A few wasps on a canal-side path are just foragers. A repeated line to one gap in your building suggests a nest.
