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 fixed price is in the price box on this page and is confirmed with you before any work begins. Read on for the details that move it up or down, what is included in a visit and what to do in the meantime.
Position, height and access
Think of the job in three parts: where, how high and how easy. A nest in a low garden hedge in a Paignton cul-de-sac is quick. A nest under the eaves of a house on one of the hillier roads needs ladders and more care. A nest in a conservatory roof, outhouse or garage sits somewhere in the middle.
Cavities and roof spaces take the most time. If wasps are flying in and out of a gap in the brickwork or a soffit, the nest is hidden and has to be treated through that gap. The technician may also need to check the loft. Each extra step adds time, which is reflected in the agreed figure.
What the fixed price covers
Paignton has a long seafront, a harbour and family homes spreading inland, so we get calls from houses, flats and holiday accommodation alike. Whichever you have, the principle is the same: we ask the questions, agree a fixed price, and the technician treats the nest for that figure.
The visit covers the treatment of the nest and straightforward advice afterwards. Some wasps will keep returning to where the nest was for a day or two, which is normal. If you manage holiday lets, tell us which unit is affected so we can reach the nest without disturbing other guests or neighbours.
What to do until we arrive
Keep doors and windows near the nest closed, and keep children and pets away from that side of the property. Do not block the entrance or spray it, because a nest under attack gets defensive fast and shop sprays rarely kill the queen. We cover Paignton and the TQ3 and TQ4 areas, and we also go out to Brixham and Torquay if you have neighbours with the same problem.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't you just tell me the cost of a wasp nest in Paignton on the phone?
We can, once we know where the nest is and how easy it is to reach. The fixed price is in the price box on this page, and we confirm it for your Paignton address before work starts.
Is a nest in a roof cavity more expensive than one in a shed?
Usually, as roof spaces need ladders, care and more time. A shed nest is in plain view and easy to treat. We agree the figure for your nest before sending anyone.
Will wasps still be around after the nest is treated?
A few may come back to where the nest was for a day or two. That is normal. If you are still seeing lots of wasps after several days, tell us and we will advise on the next step.
