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.
If you notice wasps queuing at a small gap, we can come out and treat the nest. The technician uses a professional product, keeps the work safe and explains what you will see over the next few days.
Old and new homes, different hiding places
In the older streets of Teignmouth near the seafront, roofs often have tight eaves, ageing mortar and gaps around chimneys. Those are ideal for a queen looking for a dry, dark space. Newer homes have their own weak points, usually vents, fascia boards and garage doors that do not shut tightly.
Looking up at the roofline from the garden on a warm afternoon is the easiest way to spot trouble. A line of wasps entering one spot, or a papery patch on a wall, tells you that a nest is already built inside the structure.
Seafront, harbour and business premises
Teignmouth's seafront and harbour area has cafes, guest houses and shops, and in late summer wasps move towards sugary food and drinks. A nest nearby means a steady flow of them near tables and bins, which is bad for customers and staff.
Keeping bins closed and wiping tables quickly helps, but it will not solve a nest problem. We locate the nest, treat it, and then talk you through simple steps to make the premises less attractive afterwards. Please keep customers away from the area until we have finished.
Covering Teignmouth and TQ14
We cover Teignmouth and the TQ14 postcode, and we also work in Shaldon, Dawlish and Newton Abbot. After the treatment you should see activity fade over several days. If the wasps persist well beyond that, tell us and we will go back and check the situation. We can also advise on clearing the old nest.
Frequently asked questions
Can you treat a wasp nest near the Teignmouth seafront?
Yes. We treat nests in homes and businesses near the seafront. Tell us where the wasps are heading and whether people are close by, and we will plan the visit so it is safe for everyone nearby.
There is a nest in my chimney, can it be treated?
Often yes. Chimney nests need care because of access and the risk of wasps coming down into the room. Keep the fireplace area shut off and call us, and we will explain the safest approach.
How long until the wasps disappear after treatment?
Most activity fades over a few days as the colony dies back, although stragglers may still come back to the old site. If you still see steady traffic later on, contact us and we will take another look.
