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.

Sourton is a rural village near Okehampton on the edge of Dartmoor, with farms, older cottages and outbuildings. Wasps love that mix, and nests turn up in barns, sheds, cottage eaves and old walls.
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.
So what does wasp nest removal cost in Sourton? It depends on the nest, but the amount is fixed and agreed with you first. Read on to see what changes it and what you can do in the meantime.
A nest in a tall barn or the roofline of a cottage needs ladders or a safe way of reaching it, and the higher it is, the more work is involved. Outbuildings can be simple if the nest is low and open, but cluttered ones take longer to get into. A cavity nest behind boards or in a thick wall is slower again.
Rural properties also tend to have more nooks for wasps than a modern terrace, so a second nest is not unusual. If you have spotted wasps going in at two places, say so when you ring. It helps us plan the visit and agree the right amount. That is typical around Sourton.
A fixed price means we state the figure before we come, and that is what you pay. Check the price box on this page, then call the number shown if your nest is awkward or hidden. We will talk it through, agree the amount and arrange the visit.
The job is treatment of the nest itself, done carefully and safely. We do not spend your money on chasing wasps around the garden. Treating the nest is what matters, and a clear price lets you decide without pressure. This is how Sourton jobs are quoted.
Keep animals, children and yourself away from the nest, close nearby windows and leave the entrance alone. DIY sprays often miss the centre of the nest, and wasps that survive can become defensive. We also cover Okehampton, Chagford and Princetown, so call us if you are in the villages around Sourton and EX20.
It depends on the height, access and number of nests. The price box on this page shows the fixed price, and we agree the exact amount with you before booking. Call the number shown if the building is large or awkward.
If the nest is in a shed or loft, clearing a path helps the technician reach it safely. Please do not go near the nest yourself. Tell us what is stored there when you call and we will advise.
If nobody goes near it, a nest in a rarely used barn may cause little trouble. But if animals, people or deliveries pass nearby, it is safer to have it treated.
