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, and we agree one fixed price with you before the technician starts. Tell us what you have found and where, and we will explain the next step plainly, with no pressure to book anything you do not need.
Different buildings, different jobs
Older properties near the town centre can have narrow lanes, shared walls and awkward rooflines. Newer estates tend to have neat soffits and flat access, but nests still appear in loft spaces and under eaves. Edge of town homes by the fields often get nests in garden sheds, hedges and old trees.
The cost follows the work. Easy ground access means less time, while a high nest or a loft with a small hatch means more. We also count nests, because summer can bring more than one to a single property. Whichever part of Ottery St Mary you are in, the same approach applies.
Why a fixed price is worth having
With a fixed price, you can decide in a minute rather than waiting for a bill. We ask about position, height and access, then confirm the price, and the technician treats the nest on the day we arrange.
If the nest turns out not to be as described, the technician explains it first and agrees any change with you. Landlords and managing agents in Ottery St Mary like this because they can approve the cost with a tenant on the phone. Please check the price box, then ring us. Many people first look for the figure, which is why we put it in the price box.
Before we arrive, and why sprays rarely do the job
Keep windows closed near the nest, keep children and pets indoors and do not try to knock the nest down. Shop bought sprays rarely work properly because they reach only the entrance, so the colony survives and may turn defensive. In EX11, a full treatment of the nest itself is the dependable way to be rid of it. A call to us from anywhere in Ottery St Mary starts the process.

It covers treatment of the nest at the agreed price. The technician also explains what to expect afterwards, such as wasps returning briefly to the old spot. Most nests are dealt with in a single visit, so you rarely pay more than once.
Do tall houses cost more to treat?
Height can add time and equipment, so we ask about it when you phone. The fixed price is confirmed before the visit. Describe the height and how you reach it, and we will plan the equipment needed.
