Wasp Nest Removal in Kent
One nest, one visit, one fixed price - and it is the only figure on this whole site that does not change once you have booked.
Signs
How To Tell There Is A Nest
A steady stream of wasps going in and out of one spot - a roof eave, an airbrick, a cavity wall, a shed corner or a gap in decking - is the clearest sign, and it is worth watching from a safe distance rather than getting close. The nest itself, when it is visible, looks like grey papery honeycomb rather than the dark mud of a hornet's or the open comb of a bee colony.
Numbers build through the summer and peak in late August and September, when a nest that was easy to miss in June becomes hard to ignore. That is also when a sting is most likely, because a mature colony defends the nest far more readily than a small early one does.
Every visit
What Every Visit Includes, Whichever Service
Free quotes, no call-out fee, and evening and weekend appointments at no extra cost. Same-day where we can, next-day for most things. Every technician is fully trained and insured, and the team has been doing this across Kent for over ten years.
Every job is guaranteed: if the problem is still active after the treatment has had time to work, we come back and there is no second call-out fee. It does not cover a new infestation arriving from a source nobody has closed.
The job
What The Treatment Involves
Treatment is a powder or dust applied at the nest entrance, which the wasps carry into the colony themselves over the following hours and days - it is not removed on the day, and telling customers to expect continued activity for a short while afterwards avoids a call the next morning asking why they are still there. Access at height, in a cavity wall, or somewhere awkward does not change the price.
Wasp nests in a loft, cavity wall, shed, hedge, fascia or soffit, roofline or underground are all treated the same way and for the same fixed cost. If there is more than one wasp nest on the same property, the additional nest is £30 rather than a second full callout.

What It Costs
Wasp nest removal is £90, fixed, with no call-out fee, no charge for working at height and no charge for awkward access. An additional nest on the same property is £30. It is the one job on this site that is genuinely the same price every time, because the job itself does not really vary - one nest, one visit, done.

How much is wasp nest removal?
Wasp nest removal is £90, fixed, with no call-out fee, and an additional wasp nest on the same property is £30.
How fast does it work?
The wasps carry the treatment into the nest themselves, so activity continues for a short while afterwards - that is normal and not a sign it has not worked.
Can you remove the nest itself?
The colony is what matters and that is what the treatment deals with. Physically removing an empty nest afterwards is usually unnecessary and can be arranged if you would still like it done.
Is it safe with pets and children in the garden?
The products are safe when applied correctly, and you will be told what precautions apply while the treatment is taking effect.
Do you treat bees as well?
No. Honeybee swarms want a local beekeeper, who will usually collect one free, and bumblebees and solitary bees are best left alone - they are not aggressive and the colony does not last the winter.
One Last Thing
Same or next day in most of Kent, one fixed price whatever the access, and a second nest on the same property for £30. If you are not certain it is wasps rather than bees, send a photo from a safe distance and we will tell you before anyone is booked.
