How to Tell If You Have a Wasp Nest at Your Property
A wasp nest is often hidden in a loft, wall or shed, so knowing the early signs helps you act calmly before the colony grows.

Wasp nest treatment, fixed price
We confirm the price with you before any work starts. It can depend on where the nest is and how easy it is to reach. Call 01392 590 140 or send an enquiry.
The price box on this page shows the figure to work from. Below we explain what moves a job up or down, what a visit includes, and what to do until the technician arrives.
The factors that shape the price
Position comes first. A nest in a hedge or low shed is simple, while one under a roof edge or behind fascia boards takes ladders and care. Next is access: a clear side passage is easy, but a walled garden with a locked gate, or a loft reached by a narrow hatch, adds time.
The number of nests matters as well. Wasps in summer can build more than one nest on a property, and we deal with each one found. Budleigh Salterton has many long-settled family and retirement homes with mature gardens, so garden nests and eaves nests are both common to see.
What is included in a visit
Your visit covers the treatment of the nest itself. The technician arrives equipped, checks the nest, treats it safely and tells you what to expect over the following days, such as wasps returning to the old spot for a short while.
We do not add extras you did not ask for. If the technician finds a second nest or the access is very different from what you described, they explain this first and agree any change with you. In EX9, many calls come from older houses with loft access, so we usually ask a few questions when you phone. If you are in Budleigh Salterton and unsure whether the nest is a wasp nest at all, describe what you see and we will help you work it out.
Waiting for the visit, and the trouble with DIY
Until we arrive in Budleigh Salterton, keep doors and windows near the nest shut and stay well away from it. Shop bought wasp sprays tend to fail because they reach only the front of the nest, and wasps that survive can turn defensive. Treating the whole nest properly is safer, and it is the reason a fixed price for a professional visit is usually worth it.
