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.
Once we know the details we give you one fixed price and agree it before work starts. The price box on this page shows the figure, and the notes below explain how a particular nest affects it.
Cottages, farms and newer homes
Silverton has older cottages, farms and newer homes near the Exe valley, and nests turn up in each. Cottages often have thatch-style eaves, deep soffits or loft spaces that are hard to reach. Farm buildings may have nests high in rafters or under sheeting.
Newer homes usually give simpler access, but nests in roof voids and soffit boxes are still common. The more ladder work, loft crawling or care a job needs, the more it affects the fixed price. Telling us the building type and nest position is a great help.
What the visit covers
The technician arrives with the right kit, locates the nest entrance and treats the nest in a controlled way. That is the core of the visit, and it is what the fixed price is for. We check that the wasps are dying away before we leave.
You will not be asked for extra money for normal access gear on the day. If the situation turns out to be very different from what you described, for example several nests rather than one, we talk to you before going further, not after. That is how we keep every job in Silverton fair and clear.
Waiting for the visit in Silverton
Keep children and pets away from the nest and shut windows close to it. Resist the urge to spray or block the hole, as a disturbed nest can send wasps into your home. Many people try a shop spray first and find it only annoys the wasps. We also cover Cullompton and Crediton, and the EX5 area around Silverton.
Frequently asked questions
Does a thatched or old roof make wasp nest removal dearer?
It can, if the nest is hard to reach or inside the roof structure. Easy access keeps the job simple. Describe the location when you call and we will confirm a fixed price.
Is the fixed price on the page the final price?
It is our fixed price for a typical nest. When you call we confirm it against your actual nest, and once you agree it, that is the price for the job we have described.
How do I know whether the nest is active?
Steady traffic of wasps at one gap, especially on warm days, usually means an active nest. A quiet old nest in winter is often empty. If you are unsure, call us and describe what you see.
