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.
We do not guess and we do not add extras on the day. We agree one fixed price with you first, and this page explains the things that move it up or down so you can see how it is worked out.
The things that shape the price
Think of it as three questions. Where is the nest? How hard is it to get to? Is there only one? A nest under a low garage roof is quick. A nest at the top of a two storey gable, or deep in a loft, needs more equipment and time.
Older homes in a village like Whimple often have deep eaves, soffits and loft spaces where nests go unseen until summer. Newer housing tends to have simpler access, though nests in roof spaces and soffit boxes still turn up. A few details from you help us give a clear price.
Cavity nests and hard-to-reach spots
A nest inside a wall cavity or under roof tiles is the trickiest kind. We cannot see it, so the technician works from the entrance the wasps use and treats there. This takes care and sometimes a second look to make sure activity has stopped.
We mention this because it is the usual reason a price differs from a simple open nest. If you are not sure what you have, describe what you see around Whimple, such as where the wasps fly in and out, and we will tell you what to expect before agreeing the fixed price. That clear approach applies to every nest we treat in Whimple.
What to do until we arrive
Stay calm in Whimple and keep your distance from the nest. Close nearby windows, keep pets and children inside and away, and do not spray, block or poke the entrance. Shop sprays often make wasps more defensive without finishing the nest. Leave the treatment to us. We also cover Ottery St Mary and Cullompton, and the wider EX5 area.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a loft wasp nest priced differently from a garden one?
A loft nest needs safe access, protective kit and more time in a tight space. A garden nest is usually in the open and quicker. We agree the fixed price for your actual nest.
Will you tell me the price before you come out to Whimple?
Yes. The price box on this page shows our fixed price, and when you call we confirm it for your nest. Nothing is started until you have agreed it.
Does the price change if I find a second nest later?
A second nest is extra work, so it would be agreed with you separately. Mention any other nests or suspected nests when you call so the fixed price covers everything we are asked to treat.
