We offer same-day service during peak wasp season (June-September) across most London areas (depending on availability). Treatment takes 30-60 minutes. After treatment, the majority of the wasps will be eradicated within 24 hours, but the treatment can take up to 10 days to be 100% successful.

Prices depend on nest location and accessibility. We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden charges. Commercial premises are quoted individually

Extremely dangerous. Wasps defend their nests aggressively and can sting repeatedly. When threatened, they release alarm pheromones that trigger mass attacks. Hundreds of wasps can swarm in seconds. People have been hospitalised from multiple stings. Professional removal with protective equipment is essential.

Wasps have smooth, slender bodies with bright yellow and black stripes. They're aggressive, carnivorous, and can sting multiple times. Bees are rounder, hairy, and typically brown/orange. They're docile, collect pollen, and die after stinging once. Bees are protected and should be relocated rather than destroyed.

Wasp activity runs April-October, peaking in August-September when nests reach maximum size (5,000-10,000 wasps). Queens emerge in April to start nests. Worker numbers grow through summer. By late August, workers become more aggressive as they seek sugary foods. Most nests die off after the first frost.

The treated nest will not be reused; wasps abandon dead nests. However, new queens may establish different nests the following spring. Wasps are attracted to previous nesting sites, so we recommend sealing entry points (gaps in soffits, air bricks, wall cavities) to prevent future infestations.

Common locations include: lofts and roof spaces (most common), soffits and eaves, wall cavities, garden sheds, trees and hedges, and underground burrows. Wasps need a sheltered, dry location to build their paper nests. Ground nests in lawns or flower beds are particularly dangerous due to accidental disturbance.

Yes, when applied professionally. We use targeted insecticides applied directly into the nest entrance. We establish safety zones and ensure people and pets remain indoors during treatment. The treated area is safe for re-entry 2-3 hours after application. We use minimal product for maximum effectiveness.

Remove the person from the area immediately. Wash the sting site with soap and water. Apply ice or a cold compress to reduce swelling. Take antihistamines for pain and itching. Seek emergency medical help if the person shows signs of allergic reaction: difficulty breathing, facial swelling, dizziness, or rapid pulse. Multiple stings require medical assessment.
