Why We Publish a Fixed Price

Wasp nest pricing is where the pest control industry has the worst reputation, and deservedly. The familiar pattern is a low quoted price on the phone that becomes something else once the technician arrives — a height surcharge, an access surcharge, a second nest charged separately.

£90 is our price for a wasp nest. It does not move.

The Guarantee

• Guaranteed for 30 days from the date of treatment
• If wasps return within that period and the nest we treated is still active, we return and re-treat free of charge
• Allow 24 to 48 hours first — returning foragers are expected and are carrying treatment into the nest
• It is a free re-treatment, not a refund
• A different nest is charged as a new job, because it is a new colony
• The only exclusion is where the nest cannot be accessed

What Is Included

• Attendance and inspection
• Treatment of the nest
• Any additional nests found at the same property on the same visit
• Advice on the entry point and whether it needs proofing
• The 30-day guarantee

What Is Not Included

• Physical removal of the nest structure where it is inside a wall, roof or void. The nest is treated and the colony dies; the empty structure stays where it is and is harmless
• Roofing or building work to close the entry point
• Nests that cannot be safely reached — very high, or requiring specialist access equipment. We will tell you before charging you

An empty nest is not reused the following year. It does no harm left in place, though in a loft it can go on to support carpet beetles.

Whose Nest Is It?

A question that comes up more in Edgware than most places, because of the housing mix.

• A nest in your own roof, wall or garden is yours
• A nest in a communal soffit, roof void or bin store is normally the freeholder's or managing agent's
• A nest above a commercial unit may be that business's responsibility
• In a terrace, a soffit run is shared — the entry point may be over a neighbour's section
• Wasps entering a wall two floors up may be nesting well away from that hole
• Neighbours are often seeing the same traffic — worth asking

At £90 many people simply pay it rather than establish whose it is. That is reasonable, and it is worth knowing it may not be your bill.

How Quickly Should You Act?

• A nest grows all season. A nest treated in June is a smaller problem than the same nest in September
• Wasps become more aggressive late in the season as the colony breaks down
• Near a door, patio or window is urgent regardless of size
• Anyone in the household with a sting allergy makes it urgent full stop
• A nest inside a wall or ceiling can push through if it grows large enough

Do Not Treat It Yourself

• Aerosols provoke the colony without reaching a nest inside a void
• Blocking the entry hole makes wasps chew through into the building instead
• Ladders and wasps is how people get seriously hurt — the sting is rarely the injury
• Multiple stings can affect anyone, not only people with a known allergy
• Petrol, fire and boiling water — every year, and every year it goes badly

Related Questions

Is it £90 even if there are two nests?

Yes, if both are found on the same visit at the same property.

Is it more if the nest is high up?

No. That is the point of a fixed price.

Is it bees?

If it is honey bees we will not treat them and will point you towards a local beekeeper. Bumblebees are docile, short-lived colonies and rarely need anything.
