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.
Crediton is a Mid Devon market town in the Creedy valley, with an older high street, newer housing and farmland close by. Here is what affects the cost of treating a nest in a house, garage or garden.
Where the nest is makes the difference
Think about how a technician would get to it. A nest in a garden hedge or low outbuilding is straightforward. A nest under a roofline means ladders, and the higher it is, the more care and time the job needs. Loft nests depend on hatch size and how clear the space is, and wall cavities are slower again because the nest cannot be seen.
Older homes in the centre of Crediton often have gaps under tiles, in soffits and around chimney stacks, which wasps use to get in. Newer houses on the edge of town more often have nests in eaves, sheds and under decking. Either way, a clear description helps us judge the work before we arrive.
What a visit includes
The visit covers treatment of the nest, done safely and carefully by a trained technician. We deal with the nest itself rather than just the wasps you can see, because spraying a few insects at the window does nothing to the colony behind the wall.
Because the price is fixed in advance, there is no hourly clock running while someone works at height. If the nest turns out to be somewhere you did not mention, we will tell you before doing anything extra and let you decide. The figure in the price box on this page is the place to start, and the number shown will answer anything else. Crediton customers get the same clear arrangement.
What to do while you wait for us
Stay calm, keep doors and windows near the nest closed, and keep children and pets indoors or away. Please do not poke the nest or try to seal the hole, as that can send wasps into the house. We also cover Exeter, Cullompton and Okehampton, so call even if you are outside EX17. This applies anywhere in Crediton.
Frequently asked questions
Why does wasp nest removal cost different amounts for different houses?
Because the work is different. A low nest in a shed is quick, while a high nest under the roofline needs ladders and extra care. Cavities and lofts can take longer still. We agree a fixed price once we know where the nest is.
Do I pay extra if the technician finds a second nest in Crediton?
Not without being told first. If a second nest turns up, we explain what we have found and what it means for the job before doing anything more. You then decide whether to go ahead.
Why not buy a wasp spray from a shop?
Shop sprays usually only kill the wasps they hit. The colony stays hidden in the nest, and disturbed wasps can become defensive. A technician treats the nest properly and works with the right protection.
