Professional wasp control in the Sheffield area
Wasp & Hornet nests can be difficult to locate because they are often hidden from view. You may notice wasps repeatedly entering and leaving a small opening without being able to see the nest itself.
Common places for wasp/hornet nests include:
- Lofts and roof spaces
- Under roof tiles
- Eaves, soffits and fascias
- Wall cavities
- Air bricks and other openings
- Sheds and garages
- Garden buildings
- Trees, bushes and other sheltered locations
- Underground nests
If you can see wasps repeatedly using the same entrance, don’t block the opening or disturb the nest. A professional assessment can establish where the activity is coming from and the safest way to deal with it.
We’ll establish where the wasps are coming from and, where possible, identify the location of the nest.
Sometimes the nest itself is hidden inside a roof space, wall cavity or other inaccessible area. You don’t necessarily need to be able to see the nest before calling us.
1. Assess the problem
2. Treat the nest
We’ll use an appropriate professional treatment for the situation and apply it as safely as possible while minimising disturbance to the colony.
The objective is to treat the active nest rather than simply killing individual wasps that happen to be flying around.
3. Allow the nest to become inactive
After treatment, you may still see some wasp activity for a period of time. This doesn’t necessarily mean the treatment has failed.
We’ll explain what level of activity you should expect and what to do if you continue to see significant activity.
How our wasp treatment works
How much does wasp nest removal cost?
Standard call-out: £85
Our standard £85 call-out covers advice and treatment of one wasp/hornet nest.
Additional nests or bee treatments will be subject to an additional charge. We’ll discuss any additional work with you rather than surprising you with unexpected costs.
If you’re looking for a straightforward wasp nest removal price in Sheffield, give The Wasp Fella a call and we’ll explain the cost for your particular situation.
Our wasp treatment guarantee
We’re confident in the treatments we provide, which is why we offer a 14-day follow-up guarantee on our standard poison treatment.
If a treated nest remains active, we’ll provide free follow-up treatment within 14 days of the original service, subject to the terms of our guarantee.
The guarantee applies to the treated nest and does not cover a completely new nest or activity in a different area.
If no nest is found during your visit, we’ll still provide professional advice. If a nest subsequently appears within 14 days, our advisory guarantee may apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wasp nest removal cost in Sheffield?
Our standard wasp nest treatment call-out is £85 for one nest. Additional nests or bee treatments may incur an additional charge. We'll explain any additional costs before carrying out the work.
Can you come out the same day?
Same-day service is offered, subject to availability. Call 07731 473876 and we’ll let you know what appointments are available.
Do wasp nests need to be physically removed?
Not necessarily.
Once an active wasp nest has been successfully treated and the colony is inactive, the old nest generally does not need to be removed simply because it is there.
There are circumstances where physical removal may be appropriate, particularly where the nest is accessible and its removal is practical. We’ll advise you on the best option for your particular situation.
What if I can’t find the wasp nest?
Don’t worry.
It’s quite common to see wasps entering a building without being able to locate the actual nest.
Wasps can nest inside wall cavities, roof spaces and other concealed areas. If you can identify where the wasps are entering and leaving, that information can be useful when assessing the problem.
Can you treat wasp nests in lofts and roof spaces?
Yes.
Lofts and roof spaces are common locations for wasp nests. Wasps may enter through gaps around eaves, roof tiles, soffits or other openings and build their nest somewhere inside the roof space.
If you suspect you have a nest in your loft, avoid disturbing it and tell us where you’ve noticed the activity.
Can you treat a wasp nest inside a wall?
Yes, depending on the circumstances.
A steady stream of wasps entering and leaving a small hole, crack, air brick or other opening can indicate a nest inside a wall cavity.
Do not seal the entrance while the nest is active. Blocking the entrance can cause wasps to find another route into the property.
We’ll assess the situation and advise you on the appropriate treatment.
How quickly will the wasps disappear?
The time taken for wasp activity to reduce varies according to the location and size of the nest and the circumstances of the treatment.
You may see some wasps after treatment while the treatment takes effect. We’ll explain what you should expect when we visit.
If the treated nest remains active, our 14-day guarantee provides for a follow-up treatment subject to the guarantee terms.
Should I remove a wasp nest myself?
We don’t recommend disturbing an active wasp nest yourself.
A nest can contain a large number of wasps and disturbing it can cause the colony to defend itself.
This is particularly important if the nest is high up, inside a roof or wall, or close to doors and other areas where people regularly pass.
If you’re unsure whether you have an active nest, give us a call for advice.
Will wasps come back to the same nest?
A treated nest should become inactive. Seeing wasps elsewhere later does not necessarily mean the treated nest has become active again; a new nest can be established elsewhere.
Do you remove bees as well?
We also deal with bee and bumblebee situations, but these are different from wasp & hornet treatment and may require a different approach. Honey bee situations may involve a professional beekeeper.
